Pirates Of Finance: A Plain Story For Plain People (1920) - Hardcover

by Theodore Cocheu (Author)

""Pirates of Finance: A Plain Story for Plain People"" is a book written by Theodore Cocheu and published in 1920. The book exposes the corrupt practices of Wall Street financiers and their manipulation of the stock market to enrich themselves at the expense of ordinary investors. Cocheu, who was a former Wall Street insider, provides a firsthand account of the greed, deceit, and fraud that were rampant in the financial industry during the early 20th century. He explains how stock market manipulators would create false rumors, spread misinformation, and engage in insider trading to drive up stock prices and then sell their shares for huge profits, leaving small investors with worthless stocks. Cocheu also exposes the complicity of politicians, regulators, and the media in perpetuating this system of corruption. The book is a scathing critique of the financial industry and a call to action for ordinary people to demand greater transparency and accountability from Wall Street.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
