Founders Crash and legacy of 1873

Robin Wigglesworth highlights the significance of the Founders Crash, a major stock market collapse that occurred in 1873 and triggered what was then called the Long Depression.

According to Wigglesworth, the most enduring impact of this event may have been the emergence of a more virulent form of antisemitism during that period.

Wigglesworth has previously noted the scale and importance of the U.S. municipal bond market, which exceeds crypto in size and reach. He also referenced reports by credit analysts at MS and GS in his earlier coverage on market developments. These past highlights provide context for his focus on financial history and market structures.
