History and Archaeology: The Financial Panic of 1907: Running From History

In this article from Smithsonian Magazine, the author interviews Robert F. Bruner, who co-wrote the book, The Panic of 1907: Lessons Learned from the Market's Perfect Storm, published in 2007, before the meltdown in the U.S. economy beginning in 2008. This interview compares and contrasts issues in the panic of 1907 with recent issues. A fascinating look at what we've learned and what we haven't from past events in U.S. history. (October 10, 2008)
