This is a great introduction and historical overview for anyone wanting to learn more about what drives Wall Street. It's told as an oral history, recounted by many of the players who participated in the events, which makes it particularly valuable. While it was published too soon to capture the most recent turmoil -- the real estate and credit bubbles, the demise of Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns, etc. -- any careful reader can follow the logic that emerges from the boom-and-bust cycles chronicled here. And Weiner did write this early enough to get some relatively honest input from some of Wall Street's 'greats' -- the kind of folk who probably will never again participate in a project of this kind in case their words are later used against them by members of a Congressional committee or regulators -- or even prosecutors. This solid overview also gives readers insight into issues like regulation and the importance of technology on Wall Street. Even though the events chronicled here stop roughly with the dot.com boom and its aftermath, that doesn't stop this book from being an important resource.

The ups and downs, the schemes and scams, the IPOs and hostile takeovers, the egos, the brilliance, the greed and the glory-this is the story of Wall Street, told by the men and women who made it happen. Once upon a time, Wall Street was just a footpath near the southern tip of Manhattan Island. Today it is the center of the financial world, the pivot point on which economies turn, companies rise and fall, and daring men and women go from rags to unbelievable riches, and sometimes back again. Along the way, Wall Street also has transformed itself and society, growing from an exclusive gentlemen's club to the place that millions of people now trust with their financial futures. Never has it been more important to understand how modern Wall Street truly works. And never before has the story of modern Wall Street been told by those who were there, personally, in their own words, uncensored, unfiltered, unbound. Now, in What Goes Up, acclaimed financial journalist Eric J. Weiner gives us the unvarnished, first-person truth in a riveting story based on hundreds of interviews with Wall Street insiders that captures the booms and busts of the past half century in America's financial capital in gripping detail. From Warren Buffett to Michael Milken, Sandy Weill to Henry Kravis, Peter Lynch to Alan Greenspan, from the birth of the mutual fund to the Internet bubble, from trading scandals to global meltdowns, from the rise of tycoons to the fall of giants. What Goes Up is a remarkable weaving together of larger-than-life characters and insider accounts. Eric J. Weiner has spoken to just about everybody-from CEOs to the barber in the basement of the stock exchange. For anyone who wants to understand how Wall Street became what it is, who wants to know how the biggest deals really happened, who wishes they had been a fly on the wall when it all went down, this is the book.
