The 1790's, Markets, and the Aftermath of Revolutions. Hi elmat, It can be argued that Wall Street got it's start in the 1790's in an exact parallel to the commencement of stock market activities in Russia 200 years later. Based on chicanery, deception and collecting small bits of equity from the public and concentrating into the hands of the duplicitous: washingtonpost.com 200 years of scams, shams and scandal..... Cheerio!

The Ellis book is really a good read, particularly in its description of the duel between Burr and Hamilton. I really enjoyed Ellis' treatment of the political and personal issues between the two. His almost forensic dissection of the minutiae of the duel was terrific. His description of Madison's formula for success as being a calculated appearance as a shy nerd who never offended anyone while amassing and using masterful arguments is penetrating. Didn't know you had an interest in the Founding Fathers.
