Edward L. Morris: Wall Streeters

Dunseth Auditorium, Harmon Hall, Lindenwood University

Lindenwood University presents professor of finance and former dean of the business school Edward L. Morris, who will sign and discuss his new book, Wall Streeters: The Creators and Corruptors of American Finance.

The 2008 financial collapse, the expansion of corporate and private wealth, the influence of money in politics—many of Wall Street's contemporary trends can be traced back to the work of fourteen critical figures who wrote, and occasionally broke, the rules of American finance. From J. Pierpont Morgan to Sandy Weill, Edward Morris plots in absorbing detail Wall Street's transformation from a clubby enclave of financiers to a symbol of vast economic power.
