Prof G Markets · Are We Reliving 1929? Parallels to Today’s Market Mania — ft. Andrew Ross Sorkin · 31 Oct 2025 podcast

You know, for the first couple of years, I was researching like crazy, uh, just trying to find lots of different material.

That actually there was some stumbling blocks along the way.

Then by the way, the pandemic happened.

And actually at one point I thought I thought the pandemic might go on for a very long time.

I didn't even know what I was gonna do.

You couldn't even get inside some of these libraries around the country.

Um, I actually almost created like a black market.

Uh I would call up

We qu I, along with a a researcher that I was working with at the time, we would call up archivists, ask them what students were allowed in libraries, because certain students who had like a dissertation due or a thesis due were allowed in.

And I would pay those students, I'd find them and pay them to go through boxes for me.

So I'd say, box 152, I need you to actually, with your iPhone, take a picture of every single page and send it to me.

Um now in the end I went back to actually most of those libraries afterwards because I did feel the sort of the tactile-ness of of seeing it.

But it was really like a mystery.

It was like putting a puzzle together in a way of trying to find all the material and also to think through these different characters to figure out what were their motivations and what was what was the chip on the shoulder, what was the hole that these people were were trying to fill.

Because I I always think and you

guys actually talk about this.

I think what drives a lot of a lot of people, especially at the top

Um, is some semblance of insecurity, actually.

And so trying to understand what that insecurity even is, so that when you actually see them making decisions, even when you think the decisions are completely irrational or make no sense or the wrong decisions or immoral, you say to yourself, uh, but I I remember I reading earlier in the book about what what was happening with this guy as a kid or as a this or that.

And all of a sudden it makes it at least.
