Publisher’s
description:
The “extraordinary” (New York
Times Book Review, Editors’ Choice) story of FDR’s fight for the
soul of American capitalism—from award-winning journalist Diana B. Henriques,
author of The Wizard of Lies: Bernie Madoff and the Death of
Trust.
“I thought I was well versed in the New Deal, but it turns out I knew next to
nothing. Diana Henriques’s chronicle is meticulous, illuminating, and
riveting.”—Kurt Andersen, New York Times bestselling author of Evil
Geniuses and Fantasyland. . . .
As inequality once again reaches Jazz Age levels, Henriques brings to
life a time when the system worked—an idealistic moment when ordinary Americans
knew what had to be done and supported leaders who could do it. A vital history
and a riveting true-life thriller, Taming the Street raises an
urgent and troubling question: What does capitalism owe to the common
good?
About the Author Diana B. Henriques is the author
of five previous books, including the New York Times bestseller The
Wizard of Lies: Bernie Madoff and the Death of Trust, which was
adapted as an HBO film starring Robert De Niro and was cited in the widely
watched Netflix documentary series Madoff: The Monster of Wall Street. A
staff writer for The New York Times from 1989 to 2012, she is
a George Polk Award winner and a Pulitzer Prize finalist, and she has received
Harvard’s Goldsmith Prize for Investigative Reporting, among other honors.
