Enjoyable, moves briskly

This is a good format to walk through many eras of Wall Street, events and biographies. I listen to lots of non-fiction and always like to keep a more entertaining (though non-fiction), "story"-type audiobook going, alongside more dry or technical books, and this fills the bill quite well. It is somewhat dated, seemingly written in the 90s, before repeal of Glass-Steagall for example. But, a good solid history like this one doesn't really suffer from that. There are lots of little (sometimes colorful) facts mixed in, that sharpen and round out my knowledge of this history.
