The 2026 market is booming, but economic vibes are no bueno. Have we learned enough from the 2008 recession or past crashes to avoid another? That’s the big Q for Andrew Ross Sorkin, the journalist behind New York Times DealBook and CNBC’s Squawk Box and co-creator of Showtime’s Billions. He’s out with a hot new book 1929 that makes sense of what precipitated the greatest tumult the American economy has ever seen.
Nayeema asks Sorkin - is 2026 another 1929? Is our Roaring 20s — rockets to Mars instead of towers to the sky? Why does money feel like our new religion? Are we in an AI bubble, a crypto hype dream, or “mark-to-make-believe” froth? And who could make better stock pics: Andrew Ross Sorkin? Or Nancy Pelosi's?
