The Staff have spoken

A certain segment of the Foundation's staff has recently discovered Robert E. Wright's book The First Wall Street: Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, and the Birth of American Finance, and has glommed onto it in a big way.  As I never read any of the books I buy for the library (no time, got things to do), I always appreciate staff book reviews.  I'm told that this book makes a potentially dead boring topic interesting and easy to understand.  So there you have it!   I've been commissioned to buy as many of Mr. Wright's books as I can get my hands on.  Brace yourself.

Also, Robert Wright's website may be of interest (includes links to financial resources, etc.).
