This book was written in 1993, before the euphorias of the 90's and aughts, so is not the "latest" but the author's theories and descriptions are completely relevant. He believes that recurrent speculative insanity & its aftermath are an inherent part of the system and should be recognized and accepted. The book is full of smiles & laughs: e.g., he points out that Donald Trump is never broke, he just has a negative net worth.

Historical lessons
Helpful in understanding the current financial crisis. More proof that if one doesn't learn from history one is doomed to repeat it.
Taking Gailbreths ideological bent, an odd and unexpected theme showed up. There was a strong caveat emptor and blame the victim point of view expressed.
Progressives and Conservatives can both find this of interest.

An excellent presentation of the ups and downs of the capitalistic system Well ahead of the today crisis. it could have been written yesterday, after the crisis, with the same value. But it is a 10 years old or more book.
