Reviews

'Every so often a breathtakingly brilliant book comes along; Steve Fraser's Wall Street is one such work.' Frank McLynn, Herald 'Compendious and colourful. Fraser has done for Wall Street much of what David Kynaston did for the City of London in his great four-volume history.' Martin Vander Weyer, Daily Telegraph 'It is hard to imagine a more thoughtful, and urgent book than Fraser's picture of a nation willingly seduced by greed.' Eric Homberger, Independent
