This is the first biography of William McChesney Martin, Jr. (1906-1998), the first paid president of the New York Stock Exchange and the chairman of the Federal Reserve System under Presidents Truman to Nixon. The extent of Martin’s influence on the course of American economic history was significant: arguably he has done more to strengthen and reform the nation’s most important financial institutions than has any other individual. Chairman of the Fed tells Martin’s fascinating life story and explains his lasting impact on the NYSE and the Fed, both troubled institutions that Martin transformed. The book provides an inside look into the economic deliberations of five presidential administrations and describes Martin’s battles to bring about ethical and intelligent regulation of U.S. financial markets. His experiences shed light not only on the evolution of the American financial system but also on critical issues that confront the system today.

Die 20er und 30er Jahre sind eine unvergeßliche Epoche aus der Geschichte der Wall Street. In diesem faszinierenden Buch erklärt der Autor die Metapher dieser Finanzepoche von Hochkonjunktur und Konkurs: "Golconda, heute eine Ruine, war einmal eine Stadt im Südosten Indiens, wo - der Legende zufolge - jeder reich wurde ....eine ähnliche Legende war mit der Wall Street zwischen den beiden Weltkriegen verknüpft." "Once in Golconda" analysiert Entstehung und Zerstörung des Reichtums von Richard Whitney, dem Vorstandsvorsitzenden der New Yorker Börse, dessen persönliche Geschichte eng mit den Schwankungen am Aktienmarkt verbunden ist. Der Autor untersucht Dramatik, Rücksichtslosigkeit, Gier und Illusion der 20er und 30er Jahre, die die Wall Street nachhaltig verändert haben. Angefangen beim Wertpapierrecht, das die modernen Märkte beherrscht, bis hin zu den schwärmerischen Visionen der Hausse-Anleger - Brooks zeichnet die zeitlosen Themen der Wall Street nach wie kein anderer. (09/99)
