    About this ebook

    "Economic Epics: A History of US Finance" takes you through the crucial moments that shaped the American financial landscape. This comprehensive guide provides in-depth analysis, beginning with the birth of the US dollar, through the stock market emergence, Great Depression, and post-war prosperity. 

    The book navigates the transformative transition from manufacturing to service sectors, the rise of Silicon Valley, the Dot Com Bubble, and its subsequent burst. You'll gain insights into how technology has redefined finance, the birth of fintech, and the ramifications of the housing bubble and the crisis it precipitated. 

    Explore the downfall of industry giants like Lehman Brothers, the post-crisis recovery, and the rise of cryptocurrencies. Understand the complex relationship between Wall Street and Silicon Valley, the Gamestop Saga, and the increasing importance of Environmental, Social, and Governance Investing. 

     

    As you delve into each chapter, you will understand the intricacies and subtleties of the ever-evolving American financial landscape. This book gives you the information to comprehend the past and anticipate the future of American finance.
