Subtitle: How Money and Debt Built The American Dream, Wiley, N.Y.,
2011, 393 pgs., index, references, notes

Reviewer comment: This book builds the history of American financing
toward an explanation of the 21st century. But the sections on pre-Civil War
finances are valuable in themselves. The book should be read with companions:
John Steele Gordon's An Empire of Wealth,
Charles Calomiris Fragile by Design,
and Felix Martin's Money.
