Description
From revolutionary-era bank notes to the 2008 financial collapse, Capital of Capital explores how New York City gave rise to a banking industry that in turn made the American and world economies. It examines the contentious evolution of the banking business, and its influence on American politics and culture. Based on an exhibition at the Museum of the City of New York, Capital of Capital features the key leaders of banking, including Alexander Hamilton and J. P. Morgan, as well as its critics, such as Louis Brandeis and the Occupy Wall Street protesters. -- Adapted from the Publisher's description.
