Supplemental: The Helmsmen

Lords of Finance: The Bankers who Broke the World, Liaquat Ahamed, 2009.

While the figures that I included then had a global perspective, these three from Lords of Finance are specifically focussed on the United States and the circumstances of the crashes of 1929 and 1931.
