Description

Discover the financial and political roots of Wall Street, from the Native American origins of early trading in the Americas, to the influences of the Europeans merchants and the rise of the American Financial system. We explore the financial crises caused by stock market crashes, the impact of aggressive economic growth on diverse populations, and the rebirth of Lower Manhattan after the devastating events of 9/11. Meet the visionaries, financial innovators, women pioneers, Robber Barons, and forgotten enslaved laborers who helped shape the history of Wall Street.
