He uses anecdotes from the main historic crises to explain financial jargon which is not only thick, but changes over time. Thus, the wobbly British “discount houses” of 1866 are replaced by bubbly American “trusts” in 1907.
Are there any special meanings for the words "wobbly" and "bubbly" in this context? Their general meanings seem to make no sense here and I cannot find any other meanings in the dictionary.
Thank you so much for your help.
