Economists on the crash
Galbraith
John Kenneth Galbraith attributed the crash to what he termed the "speculative orgy of 1928 and 1929" [1]. Confidence in the illusionary prospect of perpetually increasing prices had been bound to weaken at some stage, and when that happened and some people began to sell, the illusion was destroyed, provoking a rush to unload.
