Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stock market crash of 1929 and the subsequent Great Depression did not occur in a vacuum: their roots lie in economic events that occurred over the previous ten years. This book performs a financial autopsy on the "speculative decade" from 1919 to 1929, exploring the ruinous aftermath of World War I-in which war debts were contested and battles over reparations set the stage for a difficult international monetary situation-as well as the natural waxing and waning of economic cycles and the processes and procedures of stock exchanges that contributed to disaster. Written by a lawyer and emphasizing a legal perspective on the workings of a complex economy, this classic work of high finance offers a unique panorama on an important era of American history that is often overlooked. BARNIE F. WINKELMAN (b. 1894) also wrote Modern Chess (1931) and John D Rockefeller (1937), among other books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The merger of Shearson Loeb Rhoades and American Express in 1981 led the way to a new future in American finance.

From the hectic trading floors of lower Manhattan to elegant corporate offices, Tim Carrington traces that pivotal merger, focusing on the careers and motivations of the men who managed to push Wall Street beyond its long-revered traditions : Sandy Lewis, the brillant merger maker and iconoclastic reformer who nrought the companies together ; Sanford Weill, the schrewd, streetwise head of Shearson Loeb Rhoades ; James D. Robinson III, the Southern gentleman who held the reins at the sprawling American Express Company. Filled with inside information and candid vignettes, this book goes beyond the front pages to show how Wall Street really works. [4e de couv.].
Download or read book Black Wall Street 100 written by Hannibal B Johnson and published by Eakin Press. This book was released on 2021-05-20 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Wall Street 100: An American City Grapples with its Historical Racial Trauma, endorsed by the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Commission and the 400 Years of African American History Commission, furthers the educational mission of both bodies. The book offers updates on developments in Tulsa generally and in Tulsa's Greenwood District specifically since the publication of Hannibal B. Johnson's, Black Wall Street: From Riot to Renaissance in Tulsa's Historic Greenwood District. Black Wall Street 100 is a window into what distinguishes the Tulsa of today from the Tulsa of a century ago. Before peering through that porthole, we must first reflect on Tulsa's Historic Greenwood District in all its splendor and squalor, from the prodigious entrepreneurial spirit that pervaded it to the carnage that characterized the 1921 massacre to the post-massacre rebound and rebuilding that raised the District to new heights to the mid-twentieth-century decline that proved to be a second near-fatal blow to the current recalibration and rebranding of a resurgent, but differently configured, community. Tulsa's trajectory may be instructive for other communities similarly seeking to address their own histories of racial trauma. Conversely, Tulsa may benefit from learning more about the paths taken by other communities. Through sharing and synergy, we stand a better chance of doing the work necessary to spur healing and move farther toward the reconciliation of which we so often speak.

Download or read book Wall Street written by Doug Henwood and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A scathing dissection of the wheeling and dealing in the world's greatest financial center. Spot rates, zero coupons, blue chips, futures, options on futures, indexes, options on indexes. The vocabulary of a financial market can seem arcane, even impenetrable. Yet despite its opacity, financial news and comment is ubiquitous. Major national newspapers devote pages of newsprint to the financial sector and television news invariably features a visit to the market for the latest prices. Does this prodigious flow of information have significance for anyone except the tiny percentage of people who have significant holdings of stocks or bonds? And if it does, can non-specialists ever hope to understand what the markets are up to? To these questions Wall Street answers an emphatic yes. Its author Doug Henwood is a notorious scourge of the stock exchange in the pages of his acerbic publication Left Business Observer. The Newsletter has received wide acclamation from J.K. Galbraith, among others, and occasional less favorable comment. Norman Pearlstine, then executive editor of the Wall Street Journal, lamented, 'You are scum ... it's tragic that you exist.' With compelling clarity, Henwood dissects the world's greatest financial center, laying open the intricacies of how, and for whom, the market works. The Wall Street which emerges is not a pretty sight. Hidden from public view, the markets are poorly regulated, badly managed, chronically myopic and often corrupt. And though, as Henwood reveals, their activity contributes almost nothing to the real economy where goods are made and jobs created, they nevertheless wield enormous power. With over a trillion dollars a day crossing the wires between the world's banks, Wall Street and its sister financial centers don't just influence government, effectively they are the government.

Download or read book Deals of the Century written by Charles R. Geisst and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2004-03-31 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DEALS OF THE CENTURY Throughout history, mergers and acquisitions have been the major game played on Wall Street. These deals have had far-reaching effects, on the worlds of finance and industry - more than most commentators or financiers are publicly willing to admit. Deals of the Century captures this dynamic moment in history by taking an in-depth look at the most notable merger and acquisition deals of the twentieth of Carnegie Steel in 1901 to the creation of the former AOL Time Warner, renowned business historian and bestselling author Charles Geisst traces the deals that have had the most dramatic impact on the worlds of both finance and industry over the past century. Decade by decade, you'll be introduced to the personalities behind each event, as industries are built, dismantled, and reorganized by "professionals" driven mainly by the profits extracted from the deals themselves. Engaging and informative, Deals of the Century paints an exciting portrait of the incredible M&A journey and illustrates how many of these deals changed the face of business, creating a modern capitalist society that continues to grow.
Download or read book New Stock Trend Detector written by W. D. Gann and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2016-07-26 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I wrote TRUTH OF THE STOCK TAPE in 1923, it was because there was a demand for a book of that kind. People needed the help that I could give them and the benefit of my experience and knowledge. In that book I gave the best I had and received my reward. People appreciated my efforts. They bought the book then and they are still buying it. They say it is a good book and more than worth the money. That is very gratifying to me. After the 1929 bull market culminated there was a demand for a new book to meet changed conditions under the so-called “New Era,” so I wrote WALL STREET STOCK SELECTOR in the spring of 1930. I gave freely of my knowledge and the benefit of years of experience. This book helped others to protect their principal and make profits. People who read the book pronounced it one of the best. It is still selling, and again I have been rewarded. No man can learn all there is to know about forecasting the trend of stocks in 3, 5, 10, or 20 years, but if he is a deep student and hard worker, he learns more and knowledge comes easier after years of experience. I knew more about determining the trend of stocks in 1923 than I did in 1911. Seven more years of experience gave me more knowledge and enabled me to write the WALL STREET STOCK SELECTOR in 1930 and give my readers the benefit of my increased knowledge. Now, after five more years have elapsed, my experience and practical test of new rules have enabled me to learn more of value since 1930. The 1929-1932 panic and what has followed since, gave me valuable experience and I have gained more knowledge about detecting the right stocks to buy and sell. I cannot lose if I pass this knowledge on to those who will appreciate it.
