FYI: I came this close to missing my hands-down financial book of the year, Scott Nations’ A History of the United States in Five Crashes: Stock Market Meltdowns That Defined a Nation, on account of (a) the hyperbolic subtitle, (b) an early, unperceptive review I saw, (c) the fact that the book’s cover identifies the author as “a CNBC contributor,” which is no sort of credential to me, and (d) the seemingly dumb idea that the 2010 “Flash Crash”—which I’d always thought of as a glorified computer glitch—belonged on a par with the great crashes.

Ted
