The Story of Money · How a stock market crash gave birth to modern antisemitism · 12 Aug 2026 podcast

The Grunders crash, the founders crash.

How does it all play out there, the crash?

Yeah, and who doesn't love a royal wedding,

Yeah, these world fairs were essentially gigantic carnivals to celebrate your country, that people come to visit, show off technology, everything your country had to offer.

They were a big thing, right, at the time.

Wow.

So it's almost like lions and tigers and bears, oh my, but cholera, collapsing visitors and a taxi strike.

It sounds like just everything is happening at the same time for the poor Viennese.

Ah, okay.

Yeah, that must have scared people.

I mean, was that the trigger then?

day.

Just in context, it never went down 45% even during the Great Depression or 2008 in the US.

But then it obviously starts cascading in new and ricocheting in new ways.

In an earlier show, we talked about the railway bond bust in America of 1873.

And I mentioned how that had been caused by European investors losing their shirts, essentially, on German and Austrian stocks and then having to dump US railway bonds and then that causing all sorts of trouble in New York at the time.

Is that what happened here, that that was caused by the crash, the Grunderkrack?

at the end of the year.

Okay, wow.

So that is a proper crash by any standards.
