Synopsis
The riveting story of the country's first banking scandal in the first decades of the American republic This enthralling historical narrative of the birth of speculative capitalism in America opens in the 1790s when financial pioneer-turned-confidence-man Andrew Dexter, Jr. created a pyramid scheme founded on real estate speculation and the greed of banks, who freely printed the paper money he needed to finance the then tallest building in the United States-the Exchange Coffee House, a 153-room, seven-story colossus in downtown Boston. The story of Dexter's rise and eventual collapse offered an object lesson to the rising young nation, and presents striking parallels to the subprime mortgage meltdown and looming economic collapse of today., Kamensky presents the startling story of an early American dreamer whose wily schemes made him a founding father of speculative capitalism. 40 b&w illustrations.

    I was hopeful to find a unit like the item shown (that still existed) AND was ALSO available for purchase..ELATED to receive EXACTLY what I was hoping to get.. PLUS, I actually saved acoupla bucks from the techno-trash being pushed at me over, & over, & over, & over. Shipped in a timely fashion & was STILL in the original pkg'ng. My "hats off" to 'em.
