Excerpt from Wall Street in History The papers which form this volume were written by request for the May, June and July numbers of the Magazine of American History of the current year. The purpose in their production was to give the busy reading public a concise, authoritative, and informing account of the rise and development of Wall Street. No similar sketch having ever appeared in print - touching in historic continuity the salient features of the famous locality, from its first brush-fence to its present gold vaults - the whole field of inquiry must necessarily be explored for the material, which was finally gathered from an almost infinite variety of fragmentary and original sources. The wealth thus exhumed, in the way of fact and incident, would have filled many volumes. But for the general convenience, and in order to meet the popular demand for much in a small compass, the labor of condensation has been cheerfully performed, that the many-sided subject, in all its primitive, picturesque, political, social, and monetary aspects, may be presented in one brief, comprehensive and rapid survey. The first chapter Covers the century of settlement and savage warfare - inclusive of the period when New York for nearly fifty years was actually a walled city. The second chapter is devoted to the vicissitudes of Wall Street in the exciting times of the Revolution, and to its history as the seat of fashion, aristocracy, and the State Government, and also as the seat of the National Government for six eventful years, with President Washington a familiar figure, in his chariot drawn by six horses. The third chapter treats of the financial institutions which have made the street famous throughout the civilized world.

Excerpt from Main Street and Wall Street This book is not just a treatise on economics; nor is it a handy manual for investors. It purports to go deeper than that, down toward the root of things. It is partly the expression of a lifelong aspiration to promote a greater equality of opportunity among men - a more even chance at getting a living all round, and a fairer show at conserving the fruits of such activity thereafter. Only thus can there be any real pleasure in work and in thrift in the world. And it is upon the reasonable exer cise of these virtues that our American democratic polity must depend for its perpetuation. It should be a prime function of government to stimulate and in every way to protect the manifestation of these basic instincts. Property should never be allowed to degenerate into an instrument of oppression. Its only justification in a free state is that it shall contribute to such an equality of opportunity for all members of the community alike, that each one shall be more able to take care of and to make the best of himself.
