Book explores 1929 finance figures

Axel Merk discusses completing Andrew Ross Sorkin's book titled '1929,' which delves into the human stories behind the pivotal year in financial history.

Merk highlights the book's exploration of legendary speculator Jesse Livermore and Senator Glass, who was instrumental in the Glass-Steagall Act, noting that the narrative extends beyond just financial events.

Merk has previously commented on shifts in global markets, such as observing a surge in gold prices following the Treasury Twist announcement.
