Attempting to reveal the real causes of the 1929 market crash, Bierman refutes the popular belief that wild speculation had excessively driven up stock market prices and resulted in the crash. Although he acknowledges some prices of stocks such as utilities and banks were overpriced, reasonable explanations exist for the level and increase of all other securities prices. Indeed, if stocks were overpriced in 1929, then they are even more overpriced in the current era of staggering growth in stock prices and investment in securities. The causes of the 1929 crash, Bierman argues, lie in an unfavorable decision by the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities coupled with the popular practice known as debt leverage in the 1920s corporate and investment arena.

Bierman takes a fresh look at the "whys" of the great stock market crash of 1929, analyzes the economic situation, and presents sound explanations for the initial decline that are not dependent on the assumption of overvaluation. This book challenges the "facts" and overturns previously held notions to reach a dramatically different conclusion from most widely read books on the subject. Was there reason for optimism in 1929? Was it a "Bubble"? Did the high level of stock market prices jeopardize the nation's prosperity? What about the Crash of 1987? Bierman believes that a more complete understanding of these and other questions can enhance current market decisions and allow for wiser forecasts of future market trends.
