n this incisive examination of short selling, Robert Sloan traces the long‑standing antagonism toward short sellers in U.S. markets and argues that contrary to popular belief, short‑selling plays a vital role in maintaining market transparency and accountability. Drawing on historical episodes—from the Crash of 1929 to the recent financial crisis—Sloan contends that short sellers are frequently scapegoated for market collapses rather than regulated rigorously, and that the same patterns are repeating.
