From Wall Street to Main Street, John Brooks, longtime contributor to the New Yorker, brings to life in vivid fashion twelve classic and timeless tales of corporate and financial life in America.

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. 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. Five additional stories on equally fascinating subjects round out this wonderful collection that will both entertain and inform listeners. . . Business Adventures is truly financial journalism at its liveliest and best.

l enjoyed listening to this book. The narrator, Johnny Heller's voice was really interesting with enough intonation to make you feel like you were actually sitting across from the author John Brooks at the dinner table listening to him tell his story.

I didn't know that's the history of Wall Street could be so fascinating.

Best lunchtime listening.

Great audio on companies, value, stocks and shares. Lots of great stories to listen to. Lots of great learning points. The book is a good few decades old now but the themes are still relevant today. Would recommend a listen.

What I find astounding about this book is the way many stories bring to life business in the mid 20th century ... success and failure are presented ... collectively the stories illustrate that while some things change others always remain the same.
