About this episode

Liaquat Ahamed discusses his new book and why 1873 still matters. How railroad mania compares with today’s rush into AI infrastructure, and what the era can teach investors about bubbles, monetary-policy mistakes and financial resilience. He spoke to Bloomberg's Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
