Amid a season of rising indices and returning confidence, financial analyst Andrew Ross Sorkin urges a harder look beneath the surface of Wall Street's recent rally. Drawing on the haunting precedent of 1929 — when optimism became dogma just before catastrophe — he asks whether today's markets reflect genuine strength or the familiar architecture of a bubble. History does not repeat itself mechanically, but it does offer a mirror, and what it reflects now warrants serious attention.
