Description

David Colbert (au). Brings the 400-year history of the world’s most famous street to life in the words of the people whose lives were deeply entwined in Wall Street’s (WS) performance. Illuminates how the getting & spending of WS are inextricably linked with America’s national character. From our first IPO -- the European fundraising that launched America’s colonization -- through today’s mass obsession with the Dow & Nasdaq, the book brims with accounts from people who saw it happen -- poets & speculators, patriots & criminals, politicians & reporters. Their accounts reveal the myriad ways that WS has served not only as the epicenter of Amer. finance but as a major factor in the larger events of Amer. history. Half of the book is devoted to the period 1980-2000.
