Produktinformationen zu „The Wizards of Wall Street (ePub)“
A collection of true stories about money, the stock market, and high finance from the Gerald Loeb Award-winning "unbelievable business writer" (Bill Gates).
For decades, author and New Yorker staff writer John Brooks was renowned for his keen intelligence, in-depth knowledge, and uniquely engaging approach to the dramas and personalities of the financial and business worlds. With a style of prose that "turns potentially eye-glazing topics . . . into rollicking narratives," Brooks proved that even the bottom line can be moving, hilarious, and infuriating all at once (Slate). Here are three of his most fascinating works, which still resonate today.
Business Adventures: This collection of entertaining short features is a brilliant example of Brooks's talents, covering subjects such as the Edsel disaster, the rise of Xerox, and how corruption may be an irreparable part of the corporate world.
"Brooks's deeper insights about business are just as relevant today as they were back then." -Bill Gates, The Wall Street Journal
Once in Golconda: An incisively examined chronicle of the euphoric financial climb of the twenties, the ruinous stock market crash of 1929, and the unbelievable hardship and suffering that followed in its wake.
"Brooks is truly willing to give up his own views to get inside the mind of all his subjects." -National Review
The Go-Go Years: A humorous look at the staggering "go-go" growth of the 1960s stock market and the ensuing crashes of the 1970s in which fortunes were made overnight and lost even faster.
"An unusually complex and thoughtful work of social history." -The New York Times

Pressezitat
“John Brooks is an unbelievable business writer.” —Bill GatesPraise for Business Adventures
“More than two decades after Warren [Buffett] lent it to me—and more than four decades after it was first published—Business Adventures remains the best business book I’ve ever read.” —Bill Gates, The Wall Street Journal
“The prose is superb. Reading Brooks is a supreme pleasure. His writing turns potentially eye-glazing topics (e.g., price-fixing scandals in the industrial electronics market) into rollicking narratives. He’s also funny. . . . He tells entertaining stories replete with richly drawn characters, setting them during heightened moments within the world of commerce.” —Slate
Praise for Once in Golconda
“[Brooks] provides the early version of what we think of as Malcolm Gladwell–style or Freakonomics-style lessons. . . . But Brooks features another trait that modern business writers, whether James Stewart, Malcolm Gladwell, or Michael Lewis, do not. Brooks is truly willing to give up his own views to get inside the mind of all his subjects.” —National Review
“Civilized and superior history superbly written.” —John Kenneth Galbraith
“A fast-moving, sophisticated account . . . embracing the stock-market boom of the twenties, the crash of 1929, the Depression, and the coming of the New Deal.” —Edmund Wilson
“As Mr. Brooks tells this tale of dishonor, desperation, and the fall of the mighty, it takes on overtones of Greek tragedy, a king brought down by pride. Whitney’s sordid history has been told before . . . but in Mr. Brooks’s hands, the drama becomes freshly shocking.” —The Wall Street Journal
“It’s all there in Once in Golconda: the avarice

of an era that favored the rich; and the later anguish of myriads of speculators doomed by a bloated market, easy credit, and their own cupidity and stupidity.” —Saturday Review
Praise for The Go-Go Years
“Those for whom the stock market is mostly a spectator sport will relish the book’s verve, color, and memorable one-liners.” —The New York Review of Books
“Please don’t take The Go-Go Years too much for granted: as effortlessly as it seems to fly, it is nonetheless an unusually complex and thoughtful work of social history.” —The New York Times
