The Mind Of Wall Street: A Legendary Financier on the Perils of Greed and the Mysteries of the MarketMost of us are in the stock market, but few of us understand how it really works. This text explains the hidden dynamics of Wall Street, and its message is urgent and disturbing. As stock prices and investor confidence have collapsed in the wake of Enron, WorldCom, and the dot-com crash, people want to know how this happened and how to make sense of the uncertain times to come. Into the breach comes one of Wall Street's legendary investors, Leon Levy, to explain why the market so often confounds us, and why those who ought to understand it tend to get chewed up and spat out. |
