A comprehensive history of fraud in America, from the early
nineteenth century to the subprime mortgage crisis In America,
fraud has always been a key feature of business, and the national
worship of entrepreneurial freedom complicates the task of
distinguishing salesmanship from deceit. In this sweeping
narrative, Edward Balleisen traces the history of fraud in
America-and the evolving efforts to combat it-from the age of P. T.
Barnum through the eras of Charles Ponzi and Bernie Madoff. This
unprecedented account describes the slow, piecemeal construction of
modern institutions to protect consumers and investors-from the
Gilded Age through the New Deal and the Great Society. It concludes
with the more recent era of deregulation, which has brought with it
a spate of costly frauds, including corporate accounting scandals
and the mortgage-marketing debacle. By tracing how Americans have
struggled to foster a vibrant economy without encouraging a
corrosive level of cheating, Fraud reminds us that American
capitalism rests on an uneasy foundation of social trust.
