And no other American institution has inspired such deep moral, cultural, and political ambivalence. Is the Street a 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. Historian Steve Fraser frames his 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.--From publisher description. 588 0 Print version record. 610 20 New York Stock Exchange|xHistory. 610 27 New York Stock Exchange.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00538383 650 0 Financial institutions|zUnited States|xHistory. 650 0 Capitalists and financiers|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 7 BUSINESS & ECONOMICS|xEconomic History.|2bisacsh 650 7 Capitalists and financiers.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00846463 650 7 Financial institutions.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00924636 651 0 Wall Street (New York, N.Y.)|xHistory. 651 7 New York (State)|zNew York|zWall Street.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01316650 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 0 Electronic books. 655 7 Biography.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aFraser, Steve, 1945-|tWall Street.|dNew Haven : Yale University Press, ©2008|z9780300117554 |z0300117558|w(DLC) 2007035453|w(OCoLC)170202968 830 0 Icons of America. 914 ocn379425399 994 93|bGTK
