书名：Business Adventures: Twelve Classic Tales from the World of Wall Street《商业冒险：来自华尔街的十二个经典故事》

中文简介：Business Adventures《商业冒险》将华尔街的故事以戏剧的形式表达出来，揭示了金钱世界里的阴谋诡计和其违背自然规律的本质。约翰·布鲁克斯富有洞察力报告充满个性，其细节内容具有批判性。以至于无论读者是否见证过1962年的股市崩溃——一个知名经济商行公司的破产，或者美国银行家挽救英镑的大胆预测，他都会有这种感觉：历史就在重演。

英文简介：What do the $350 million Ford Motor Company disaster known as the Edsel, the fast and incredible rise of Xerox, and the unbelievable scandals at General Electric and Texas Gulf Sulphur have in common? Each is an example of how an iconic company was defined by a particular moment of fame or notoriety; these notable and fascinating accounts are as relevant today to understanding the intricacies of corporate life as they were when the events happened.

Stories about Wall Street are infused with drama and adventure and reveal the machinations and volatile nature of the world of finance. Longtime New Yorker contributor John Brooks’s insightful reportage is so full of personality and critical detail that whether he is looking at the astounding market crash of 1962, the collapse of a well-known brokerage firm, or the bold attempt by American bankers to save the British pound, one gets the sense that history repeats itself.
