Description
This vivid history traces Wall Street from the exuberance of the 1920s through the market’s collapse and the unsettled years that followed, revealing the personalities, ambitions, and institutions behind a transformative era in American finance. Through a series of sharply observed narratives, it captures the speculative fever, shifting fortunes, and human drama of the financial world between 1920 and 1938. Elegant, engaging, and richly atmospheric, the book combines economic history with memorable character portraits to show how greed, optimism, fear, and changing regulation reshaped modern Wall Street.
