Summary: From Wall Street to Main Street, John Brooks, longtimecontributor to the New Yorker, brings to life in vivid fashion twelve classic and timeless tales of corporate andfinancial life in America. What do the 50 million Ford Motor Company disaster known as the Edsel, the fast and incredible rise of Xerox, and the unbelievable scandals atGeneral Electric and Texas Gulf Sulphur have in common? Each is an example of how an iconic company was defined bya particular moment of fame or notoriety; these notable and fascinating accounts are as relevant today to understanding the intricacies of corporate life as they were when the events happened. Stories about Wall Street are infused with drama and adventure and reveal the machinations and volatile nature of the world of finance. John Brooks^'s insightful reportage is so full of personality and critical detail that whether he is lookingat the astounding market crash of 1962, the collapse of a well-known brokerage firm, or the bold attempt by Americanbankers to save the British pound, one gets the sense thathistory repeats itself. Five additional stories on equallyfascinating subjects round out this wonderful collection that will both entertain and inform readers . . . BusinessAdventures is truly financial journalism at its liveliest and best. | หัวเรื่อง |
