Summary: Gripping History
Comment: Charles Geisst tells a gripping history of Wall Street, from a tiny congregation of traders along the sidecurb to the most influential financial market in the world. Over a span of 200 years, Geisst examines the factors contributing to the rise of Wall Street and the Street's role in helping America become the most powerful economy. On the light side, he narrates the colourful lives and exploits of the Robber Barons who have come to symbolise Wall Street's predatory and free-wheeling past. This is definitely an engaging book but without being pedantic for history freaks.
Rating: 4

Summary: Would you believe it all started under a tree?
Comment: Traders met under a tree in the beginning to trade securities, that's about it. Later, the securities were being traded on the "curb", then indoors, and eventually it became the global market that we know today. You will learn about the progress of the market, the booms, the busts, the market "breaks" and the recessions and depressions that followed.

Interested in how the US was funded to become the World power it is today? Interested in issues like program trading and market volatility? This book discusses all of these and many more, including the people, thinking, and developments that have made the market what it is today.
