Cele trei proiecte gigantice care au unit planeta, iar apoi totul s-a prăbușit

In the late 1860s, three monumental projects—the transcontinental railroad, the Suez Canal, and the Indian railway—transformed global trade. However, by 1873, a financial scandal and overcapacity led to a severe economic downturn known as the Panic of 1873. The Crédit Mobilier scandal highlighted corruption in railroad financing, resulting in a loss of investor confidence and a prolonged economic depression.
