Robin Wigglesworth, industry influencer, reflects on the panic of 1873 as a significant subject in his upcoming book, though only briefly covered due to the book's main focus on the history of the bond market.
He notes that the 1873 crash would serve as a strong foundation for a standalone work, highlighting its lasting relevance in financial history.
Wigglesworth recently announced the launch of a Financial Times podcast focused on major moments in finance history. In separate reporting, he drew attention to over 23,000 U.S. business bankruptcies recorded in the year through June 2025. Both topics reflect his interest in examining significant financial disruptions.
