Abstract

Wall Street: no other place on earth is so singularly identified with money and the power of money. And no other American institution has inspired such deep moral, cultural, and political ambivalence. Is the Street an unbreachable bulwark defending commercial order? Or is it a center of mad ambition? This book recounts the colorful history of America's love-hate relationship with Wall Street. Steve Fraser frames his fascinating analysis around the roles of four iconic Wall Street types-the aristocrat, the confidence man, the hero, and the immoralist-all recurring figures who yield surprising insights about how the nation has wrestled, and still wrestles, with fundamental questions of wealth and work, democracy and elitism, greed and salvation. Spanning the years from the first Wall Street panic of 1792 to the dot.com bubble-and-bust and Enron scandals of our own time, the book is full of stories and portraits of such larger-than-life figures as J. P. Morgan, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and Michael Milken. Fraser considers the conflicting attitudes of ordinary Americans toward the Street and concludes with a brief rumination on the recent notion of Wall Street as a haven for Everyman.

Abstract

Dans une préface inédite, Bertrand Jacquillat explique l'importance de ce livre dont il a publié la première traduction dam la collection Finance en 1995. " C'est l'histoire des idées qui ont forgé la finance moderne que raconte ce livre et comment un petit groupe d'universitaires inconnus ont révolutionné la manière dont l'épargne mondiale est gérée. " Sur ce sujet difficile, Peter L. Bernstein explique, avec un grand talent didactique, comment ces idées capitales et ces travaux étrangers au monde des professionnels de la finance ont contribué à forger " une nouvelle architecture intellectuelle et scientifique de la finance ".
