[Undue Influence: How the Wall Street Elite Puts the Financial System at Risk] [By: Geisst, Charles R.] [November, 2004]

by Charles R. Geisst

"The financial system of the United States is far from perfect, and over the years, politicians and financial professionals have engaged in fierce debates as to how the system should be run and regulated - if at all." Undue Influence paints a vivid portrait of this longstanding battle by taking an in-depth look at the individuals and events that have shaped our financial system - for better or for worse - over the last eighty-five years. Beginning with the rise of the Wall Street elite in the early twentieth century, business historian and bestselling author Charles Geisst takes you on a fascinating journey that mixes money, power, and politics like never before.
