Vickers has produced a book that stands out in the scholarship of the banking crisis of the 1930s. It's also greatly relevant to the recent financial collapse that has rocked the American and world economies. In the more than 75 years since the 1932 Chicago banking crisis little has changed. Insider abuse at banks, weak regulation, and the protection of miscreants by powerful politicians of both major parties characterize what happened in the 1930s and recently. Deeply probing research in records often over looked by scholars allows Vickers to carefully expose the web of private and public influence and often fraudulent behavior that sank Chicago's leading banks in the 1930s. His research should inspire scholars and investigators determined to discover the roots of our recent financial collapse.
