The Big Money

The Big Money by John Dos Passos

In Big Money, common people experience the roaring twenties. Like the other books in the USA trilogy, this book intersperses the fictional narratives with brief accounts of historical figures and rapid fire "mass media". It works well in an audiobook. The characters and plot are rather forgettable. What stood out most to me was an interest in aviation stocks and praise for Detroit. Some characters seems to get placed in positions above their capabilities, while union conflicts were still an issue.
