In December 1928, President Coolidge sent his last message on the state of the Union to Congress: ' In the domestic field ', he said, ' there is tranquillity and contentment ... and the highest record of years of prosperity '. Less than a year later, In the last week of October, 1929, The Wall Street stock market crashed, heralding the highest record of years of depression on a universal scale. Andrew Nell revisits that week of panic, with archive material, music, bootleggers and brokers, those on the floor of the Exchange and those who suffered from It, to capture the grim, rueful humour of the time, and, with Professor J. K. Gal braith, to point out the lessons the world has-and indeed has not-learned from those, amazing days of speculative boom / and collapse. Producer
