Wall Street has been many things in its day. It began as the northern defensive perimeter of a wilderness trading post, at a time when money was limited to gold and silver, and wealth was enjoyed by few. Today, it is a metaphor for the global financial market, as wealth has spread far and wide. Yet Wall Street itself continues to grow and evolve as the world's center of financial power. This book covers 350 years of history, exploring how Wall Street, money, and wealth reached today's extraordinary high, while seeking answers to Adam Smith's question about the purpose of all the "toil and bustle."
