Description
In the shadowy world of 1980s Wall Street, this gripping narrative follows how market manipulation and insider trading schemes—carried out by some of the industry’s most powerful figures—helped fuel a crisis with consequences far beyond the trading floor. Blending investigative detail with the momentum of a detective story, it traces the incentives, relationships, and decision-making that turned sophisticated finance into a game of advantage and betrayal. As the story builds toward the events surrounding the 1987 crash, it examines themes of greed, moral compromise, and the fragile trust that underpins the broader economy. Written in James B. Stewart’s sharp, accessible style, the book offers a compelling, thought-provoking look at how wrongdoing can be both systemic and personal.
