SynopsisThe rise and fall--and rise and fall--of modern Wall Street is told by the tycoons and crooks who made it all happen., Fifty years ago, Wall Street was a hodgepodge of companieshundreds of themoperating in an environment where high-tech meant an electric typewriter and the Wasps and Jews never mixed. Today, Wall Street is controlled by a few massive firms and, it often seems, few ethical constraints. The tale of Wall Streets rise and transformation is one of the most exciting and important of our time. But amazingly, never before have the players who saw everythinglarge and small, from tycoons in limousines to the barber in the basement of the stock exchangedirectly told their stories. Here, at long last, are the Masters of the Universe and the con men; the backroom geniuses and the power-tie billionairesall in first person, uncensored, brash, bold, and often not so fond of one another. The result is the most vibrant business history published in years, perfect for anyone who wishes they had been a fly on the boardroom wall. Weiner interviewed everyone whos anyone for this oral history, including David Rockefeller, Arthur Levitt, Charles Schwab, Don Regan, Peter Lynch, Pete Peterson, Henry Kravis, George Roberts, Jerome Kohlberg, Steve Schwarzman, Dick Jenrette, Dan Lufkin, John Kenneth Galbraith, Stan ONeal, Harvey Pitt, T. Boone Pickens, John Whitehead, John Weinberg, Robert Baldwin, Dave Komansky, Jerry Tsai, John Gutfreundto name a few.
