The greatest investment story ever told -- and it spans 250 years.
Investing in America: The Rise of a 250-Year Bull Market is a landmark coffee table book that charts the complete history of US financial markets, decade by decade, from 1792 to today.
It is beautifully illustrated. It is rigorously researched. And it tells a story that every investor, experienced or just starting out, needs to understand.
What's inside
Every chapter covers a full decade of American market history, combining original data visualizations, historical context, and the stories of the people who shaped each era. You'll discover:
- How every major crisis in American history eventually became a buying opportunity -- from the Panic of 1907 to the Great Depression to the 2008 financial crisis
- The innovations that drove each era's returns -- railroads, electricity, automobiles, computing, the internet, and now AI
- What the data actually says about long-term investing -- and why patience has always been rewarded
A stunning visual experience
Investing in America isn't just a book to read; it's a book to experience. Packed with over 60 charts, maps, and data graphics spanning the full arc of US financial history, it transforms 250 years of market data into something you can see, understand, and share.
The bottom line
Since 1800, $1 invested in US stocks has grown to over $200,000,000. Panics, wars, depressions, and crashes couldn't stop it. Investing in America is the definitive explanation of why -- and the most visually compelling way to understand what that means for your own investments and financial future.
