Description of Only Yesterday |
Written in 1931, this new installment in the Wiley Investment Classics series offers a well-written historical and anecdotal account of the volatile stock market of the 1920s. It traces the rise of post World War I prosperity up to the crash of 1929 before a colorful backdrop that includes Al Capone, Prohibition, the first radio, and the rise and fall of the skirt length.

- Stuart Chase, Books
"A perfectly grand piece of historical record and synthetic journalism."
- Fanny Butcher, Chicago Tribune
