Robert E. Wright has written a creative non-fiction masterpiece. From beginning to end I truly enjoyed reading and learning the importance of Philadelphia's Chestnut Street in the development of our current financial markets. The Author's style is such that you feel like you are sitting at his dining room hearing a story from a friend. Throughout the book, Wright gives the reader small tidbits of trivia and knowledge that are not widely known today. One of the things that doomed Philadelphia was the presidency of Andrew Jackson. The policies of President Jackson help create Wall Street and in the process decimate Philadelphia's Chestnut Street. This is a grat read for anyone interested in Philadelphia's history or the history of financial markets.
