Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2026 by Literary Hub

From the author of the Pulitzer Prize–winning Lords of Finance, a magnificent and timely reckoning with the first truly global financial calamity and the famous banking family at the center of the whirlwind

Over the course of the 1850s and 1860s, during the first era of globalization, the world experienced an unprecedented economic boom. Fueling this expansion was an explosion in the global bond market, at the hub of which stood one family—the Rothschilds, arguably the wealthiest banking family in history. While the giant sums of capital provided through the bond market built the railroads, the century’s most transformative investments, the money raised also unleashed a frenzy of speculation, massive overinvestment, and wasteful borrowing by governments.

With excessive euphoria leading to disappointed expectations, in the early 1870s the bubble burst. Stock markets from Vienna to New York crashed, and dozens of railroads and many governments defaulted. Financial officials responded by blundering into a precipitous remaking of the global currency system—exacerbating the ensuing economic collapse and setting the stage for decades of a punitive deflation that sparked waves of anti-globalist populism. As Liaquat Ahamed shows us in this enthralling history, the crisis of 1873 was, among other things, a death blow to Reconstruction in the United States and the proximate cause of the Ottoman Empire’s slow death spiral. Ironically, though the Rothschilds had presciently kept a low profile during the bubble, when the deluge came, they were viciously scapegoated as part of a wider hatred directed at “Jewish finance,” a strain of antisemitism that would come to full evil flower during the twentieth century.

1873 is a bird’s-eye reckoning with the full dimension of the crisis, from its buildup to its long aftermath. The Rothschilds and a cast of other witnesses give us the human perspective. And we have a brilliant financial historian’s grasp of the larger forces at play, resulting in a global narrative with thrilling explanatory power.

Works well on 2003 Corvette.
Color: Carbon Fiber, Size: 2 Pack
I purchased these for usage in my 2003 Corvette convertible. As much as I enjoy the vehicle, they are extremely insufficient for storage. No "usable" built-in cup holder, no pockets and no flat area that can hold a cell phone. The console and glove box are not ideal in this day and age since the phones are used constantly. Enter these excellent little holders. They mount perfectly on the central vent in the dash. If you slide the bases as far as possible to each side and then tighten them down, the base will overlap the non-moving portion of the vent and keep the unit quite stable. I would suspect this is applicable for any vehicle that has the traditional flat vent fins. The holder has a hook that when fished into the vent, clasps over the back of one of the fins. By hooking the fin, once tightened down (careful not to over due this as the vents are just plastic) the installation is as stable as you can ask for vs any of those goofy clamp types that slide off quite easily, especially as they age and sun softens the pads. Benefit from my mistakes on those bad purchases and stay away from clamp mounts. If you have flat fin vents and are looking for a reliable means to mount a phone, this may be just right for you. Best of luck.

Well built and removes cleanly.
Color: Dark Black, Size: 1 Pack
Seems to be very solid and it was a little bit tricky to get it located on the vent blade properly, though that might just be due to the vents shape in my Highlander. I really like that it can be easily moved from one vehicle to another if needed without leaving adhesive residue like my last mount did. The only concern I have is whether the vent blade will support the weight long term. Time will tell I guess. EDIT: This fits all of the vents on my 2011 Highlander great. On my 2022 Highlander it will only attach to the center vents and then just barely hooks on after angling the vent blades enough for the hooks to grab. Even then the mount only makes contact at the very top and bottom of the vent opening. It works, but I wouldn't recommend it as ideal.
