About this book
A veteran Wall Street financier looks back over half a century in the heart of American finance, recounting panics, booms, great speculators, and the inner workings of the stock market from the Civil War era into the twentieth century. Henry Clews mixes memoir, anecdote, and shrewd commentary on money, character, and the men who made and lost fortunes. A fascinating firsthand account of the age of the robber barons and the rise of American capitalism, it offers both entertainment and insight. For readers interested in finance and history, Fifty Years in Wall Street is a colorful insider's chronicle of the making of modern American wealth.
