The 2008 financial collapse, the expansion of corporate and private
wealth, the influence of money in politics-many of Wall Street's
contemporary trends can be traced back to the work of fourteen
critical figures who wrote, and occasionally broke, the rules of
American finance. Edward Morris plots in absorbing detail Wall
Street's transformation from a clubby enclave of financiers to a
symbol of vast economic power. His book begins with J. Pierpont
Morgan, who ruled the American banking system at the turn of the
twentieth century, and ends with Sandy Weill, whose collapsing
Citigroup required the largest taxpayer bailout in history. In
between, Wall Streeters relates the triumphs and missteps of twelve
other financial visionaries. From Charles Merrill, who founded
Merrill Lynch and introduced the small investor to the American
stock market; to Michael Milken, the so-called junk bond king; to
Jack Bogle, whose index funds redefined the mutual fund business;
to Myron Scholes, who laid the groundwork for derivative
securities; and to Benjamin Graham, who wrote the book on
securities analysis. Anyone interested in the modern institution of
American finance will devour this history of some of its most
important players.
