Charles Dickens’ famous phrase about the French Revolution, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” seems equally apt when applied to the 1980s. The world held its breath as the Cold War between two nuclear superpowers came to a near miraculous and peaceful end. But the world also learned of a mysterious virus that defied a cure and triggered a global pandemic. Wall Street brokers became the new rock stars as the stock market soared and the sluggish ‘70s turned into the ‘go-go’ ‘80s.
