具体描述
The 1960s was one of Wall Street's most speculative eras. These were the years of growth and performance - of gunslingers, the youth revolution, mutual funds, new-issue stocks, creative accounting, Chinese money, and the conglomerates. In this tumultuous environment, the multitudes of small investors thrived and multiplied only later to diminish in the devastating market crashes of the 1970s. In his book, Brooks chronicles this era while educating readers about the take-off growth sprees of Wall Street's 1960s and the crashes of the 1970s, reminding today's investors that Wall Street has always been a source of hope, havoc, and hyperbole.

读后感
那是一个激动人心的时代，ＧＯ－ＧＯ ＹＥＡＲＳ ，每个人都想追求利益，金钱或者名誉．华尔街或者说金融市场给他们提供了这样一个舞台。有的人出于逐利，有的人追求理想，有的人崇尚信仰，有的人背负责任。每一个角色都被如此鲜明的描述着。读者们感受生动舞台的震撼，目睹...
2005年末，美国《财富》杂志推荐了75本必读书。《纽约客》已故撰稿人约翰•布鲁克斯所著的《沸腾的岁月：华尔街60年代股市兴衰记》正是其中一本。 1973年，是美国历经1970年股市大崩盘之后的复苏期。在这一年，布鲁克斯反思1960——1970年华尔街所发生的一切之后，深入分析...

在环球股市高歌急进的当口，看《沸腾的岁月》这本书似乎有些不合时宜，因为这是一本描述上个世界六十年代美国股市从兴起到崩盘的十年(Go-go Years)。崩盘的结果大家都已经看到，结果不可谓不惨痛，1970年到1979年整整十年股市惨淡不已，直到1980年股市才牛市重临。 但...
