Summary
Summary
With high-flying acrobats like Cisco and Lucent, IPO sideshows such as China.com, and tantalizing tales of rags to riches, Wall Street in the 1990s was a massive global carnival affecting billions of people throughout the world.
Carnival on Wall Street examines the roots of the blind faith in free markets, globalization, technology, and financial models that both fueled and ultimately doomed global financial markets in the 1990s. Authors Jane Hughes and Scott MacDonald guide readers through the factors--financial, economic, and political--at work in the Wall Street stock market bubble. Both entertaining and easy-to-read, the text takes an applied approach that brings this fascinating decade to life through intriguing anecdotes about real people and real events.
