Evolution of Wall Street through academic insights.

If you're intrigued by how theory shapes reality, especially in the complex world of finance, "Capital Ideas" is an enlightening read. It's a well-drawn map of the intellectual journeys that created contemporary Wall Street. Bernstein's storytelling melds history, biography, and economics to explain not just the 'what' but the 'how' and 'why' behind modern investment practices. It feels as much a tribute to the unsung financial pioneers as it is a narrative of innovation and transformation.
