Within twenty months, an Austrian bank nobody outside Vienna could spell had taken down the German banking system, the pound sterling had abandoned a promise it had kept for two centuries, and farmers in Saskatchewan were burning wheat they could not sell to people in Shanghai who could not buy it. In October 1929, share prices fell in New York. The usual explanation is that a very large thing happened in America and the world felt it. That explanation is comforting, tidy, and wrong.
