Best books of 2014 - The Economist.

Economics and business:

The Forgotten Depression, 1921: The Crash that Cured Itself. By James Grant. Simon & Schuster; 254 pages; $28. Buy from Amazon.com<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1451686455/theeconomists-20>; Amazon.co.uk<http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1451686455/economistshop-21>
A study of the searing 1920s by the founder of a well-regarded financial newsletter. It sheds light on a nasty, but largely ignored, episode and demonstrates that a laissez-faire approach can cure slumps better than the government activism of the 1930s-or indeed 2008.
