Viac o knihe
The narrative centers on Richard Whitney, a Massachusetts Brahmin and president of the New York Stock Exchange in the 1930s, who opposed government regulation, believing the exchange was flawless. His downfall began after he invested heavily in a failing liquor company, leading him to embezzle client funds to cover losses. The story explores themes of arrogance, integrity, and the cyclical nature of financial scandals, revealing how a once-respected figure ultimately became a cautionary tale of hubris and deceit.
