Investing in U.S. Financial History: Understanding the Past to Forecast the Future [Mark J. Higgins CFA CFP®] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Investing in U.S. Financial History: Understanding the Past to Forecast the Future

Review: Concise, clear and cleverly written for the everyday reader. A MUST read - I found this book to be a masterful and engaging chronicle that bridges the gap between academic rigor and accessible storytelling. As someone who had limited knowledge of U.S. financial developments between the nation’s founding and the Great Depression, I found this book to be an eye-opening and enriching experience. Higgins manages to cover over two centuries of financial evolution with remarkable clarity and conciseness. The book’s sweeping arc never feels overwhelming, thanks to the author’s ability to distill complex events into digestible narratives. His treatment of the First and Second Banks of the United States and the transformative impact of the railroads is particularly compelling—those chapters alone are worth the price of admission. What sets this book apart is its blend of macroeconomic analysis with vivid anecdotes. Stories about figures like Hetty Green and J.P. Morgan add a human dimension to the financial milestones, making the history feel alive and relevant. I was especially struck by how much I learned about these personalities and their influence on the financial landscape. While the book offers a thorough exploration of early U.S. financial history, its coverage of more recent decades is understandably brisk. This isn’t a flaw so much as an invitation—perhaps a second volume could delve deeper into the post-WWII era and beyond. The section on the Second World War economy is solid, providing adequate context without getting bogged down in minutiae. It serves as a useful bridge to the modern financial system, even if it leaves the reader wanting more detail. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in how America’s financial system came to be. It’s informative, engaging, and—most importantly—makes history feel relevant to today’s economic challenges.
Review: A Masterclass in How the Past Never Stops Repeating Itself - "Investing in U.S. Financial History" by Mark Higgins is the rare finance book that doesn’t just inform you, it reorients the way you see markets entirely. Higgins walks you through more than two centuries of American financial evolution, from the canal mania of the early 1800s to the railroad boom, the rise of electricity, the microchip revolution, and today’s tech supercycles. And what becomes crystal clear is this: "the story never really changes, only the characters do." Higgins shows how each breakthrough technology arrives with breathtaking promise, attracts waves of speculative capital, soars beyond reason, and ultimately resets in a bust that paves the way for long-term transformation. The parallels between centuries-old infrastructure frenzies and modern tech bubbles are both uncanny and incredibly useful for any investor trying to navigate the future. This book is meticulously researched yet surprisingly accessible, making it one of the most actionable “history lessons” I’ve ever read. If you’ve ever wondered whether today’s innovations rhyme with yesterday’s manias, Higgins offers a definitive and fascinating yes. A must-read for investors who want to forecast tomorrow by truly understanding yesterday.

Few finance books will remain relevant for years after they have been published. Investing in US Financial History will certainly be included in this list. It shocks me that, prior to Mark Higgins, no one had ever truly put pen to paper and walked through the entire financial history of the US dating back to Alexander Hamilton. Many of the stories written hold relevance and echo themes of today, although many are long forgotten to even advanced practitioners. The research conducted to put this together is incredibly thorough and provides a wealth of knowledge for today's investors. One important lesson that the book leaves you with is the understanding that many financial events or concerns echo multiple periods in history. By providing a one-stop book to learn about all of those major events plus documentation for further reading, the reader walks away with a greater understanding of the world they live in and how it came to be. I will certainly be reading this book multiple times. If there are ever future editions, I'll absolutely add them to my shelf, especially considering all the underlining I ended up doing in the current version. This book is simply invaluable!
