Wall Street is an unending source of legend . and nightmares. It is a universal symbol of both the highest aspirations of economic prosperity and the basest impulses of greed and deception. Charles R. Geisst's book is at once a chronicle of the street itself and an engaging economic history of the United States. This work is an account of Wall Street itself as well as an economic history of the United States. Already the definitive history of America's financial hub, this crucial update chronicles the past decade, including the financial collapse of 2008. It tells tales of profits and losses, spirited enterprise, ruthless wheeler-dealers, and key figures that transformed America into the most powerful economy in the world. This updated edition unpacks the cataclysmic events of the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent policy changes of the Obama administration up to Dodd-Frank
