伟大的博弈：华尔街金融帝国的崛起

The Great Game: The Emergence of Wall Street as a World Power: 1653-2011(special edition) gives the history of Wall Street as well as the history of finance and economy of America. It reveals that, to a great extent, Wall Street has promoted the development of America from a underdeveloped single economic entity to a powerful and complicated one. Today, Wall Street is a metaphor for the global financial market, and money exists mostly on computer screens. More than three million Americans are now employed by the securities industry, and Wall Street wields the sort of power once reserved to nation states. The success of America's economy is a living example of the coordinative development between the capital market and the real economy.
