This epic book is a passionate, critical history of the most powerful financial district in the world. Steve Fraser`s story of America`s love-hate relationship with its own economic power is brought to life with colourful tales of robber barons and aristocrats, Napoleonic financiers and reckless adventurers, men to the manor born and men from nowhere. Meticulously researched and masterfully written, Wall Street is history on a grand scale, fully deserving of its subject.
