Download or read book Frenzied Finance written by Thomas William Lawson and published by . This book was released on 2024-04-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Frenzied Finance" by Thomas William Lawson is a scathing exposé of Wall Street and the financial practices that led to the Panic of 1907. Published in 1905, the book caused a sensation with its sensational revelations about corruption, manipulation, and greed in the world of high finance. Thomas William Lawson, a former stockbroker turned reformer, pulls back the curtain on the inner workings of the stock market and the machinations of powerful financiers. He exposes various fraudulent schemes, market manipulations, and insider trading tactics employed by wealthy bankers and speculators to manipulate stock prices and exploit the investing public. One of the central themes of the book is the phenomenon of "stock watering," whereby unscrupulous operators artificially inflate the value of stocks through misleading financial reports, false rumors, and other deceptive tactics. Lawson vividly describes how investors are lured into speculative frenzies, only to be left holding worthless securities when the bubble bursts. Moreover, Lawson criticizes the complicity of government officials, regulators, and even the media in perpetuating the culture of greed and corruption on Wall Street. He argues that the financial elite wield disproportionate power and influence over the economy, manipulating markets for their own enrichment at the expense of ordinary investors. "Frenzied Finance" is not merely a critique of Wall Street; it is also a call to action for reform. Lawson advocates for greater transparency, accountability, and regulation in the financial industry to prevent future crises and protect the public interest. He urges investors to educate themselves and exercise caution when navigating the treacherous waters of the stock market. Despite its sensationalist tone and controversial claims, "Frenzied Finance" had a significant impact on public opinion and helped galvanize support for financial reform in the early 20th century. While some of Lawson's assertions may have been exaggerated or sensationalized, his book remains a compelling indictment of the excesses and abuses of Wall Street during the Gilded Age.
Download or read book Season of the Witch written by David Talbot and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-05-08 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The critically acclaimed, national bestseller—a gripping story of the strife and tragedy that led to San Francisco’s ultimate rebirth and triumph. In a kaleidoscopic narrative, New York Times–bestselling author and Salon founder David Talbot tells the gripping story of San Francisco in the turbulent years between 1967 and 1982. The emergence of a diverse cast of characters—Harvey Milk, Janis Joplin, Jim Jones, Bill Walsh—ushered in a transformative new era in the city’s history. Season of the Witch is the first book to fully capture the dark magic of San Francisco in this breathtaking period, when the city radically changed itself—and then revolutionized the world. “An enthralling—and harrowing—account of how the 1967 Summer of Love gave way to 20 or so winters of discontent.” —The Washington Post “A sprawling, ambitious history . . . Talbot’s energetic, highly entertaining storytelling conveys the exhilaration of ‘60s counterculture as well as the gathering ugliness that would mark the city in the ‘70s.” —The Boston Globe “Exhaustive research yields penetrating character studies . . . In exhilarating fashion, Talbot clears the rainbow mist and brings San Francisco into sharp focus.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “A gritty corrective to our rosy memories . . . enthralling, news-driven history . . . smart and briskly paced . . . I found it hard to put down.” —San Francisco Chronicle “An ambitious, labor-of-love illumination of a city’s soul, celebrating the uniqueness of San Francisco without minimizing the price paid for the city’s free-spiritedness.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Talbot presents gripping accounts of both crime sprees and football showdowns.” —Booklist

Download or read book Galicia written by Annette M. B. Meakin and published by Heritage Books. This book was released on 1909 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Galicia is the least known and the least written about of all the little kingdoms that go to the making of Spain. Her boundaries have been greatly reduced since the days when the Romans divided the Peninsula into five provinces and called one of them Galicia".The irruption of the Saracens in 713 again changed the aspect of the Peninsula, and the limits of Galicia were contracted; but Spanish geographers to this day call her a reino, or kingdom, and divide her into four little provinces 'Coru'a, Pontevedra, Orense, and Lugo." The history of this little known Spanish kingdom examines geography, early history, architecture, emigration, farming, monasteries and other topics. Chapters include: Ancient Galicia; The Geography of Galicia; The First Golden Age; The Salve Regina; The Language of Galicia; Pilgrims to Santiago; The Architecture of Galicia; The Cathedral of Santiago; The Portico de Gloria; Sculptured Capitals; The Royal Hospital; The Colegiata de Sar; La Coru'a; Emigration; Rosalia Castro; Santiago de Compostela; Galicia's Livestock; Padron; La Bellisima Noya; Pontevedra; Vigo and Tuy; Orense; Monforte and Lugo; Betanzos and Ferrol; The Great Monasteries of Galicia; Trees, Fruits, and Flowers; and Dives Callaecia. A map of Galicia, 105 illustrations (mostly photographs), a bibliography, and an index to full names, places and subjects add to the value of this work.
