DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat would famous poets such as Emily Dickinson, Dylan Thomas, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Lewis Carroll, & William Shakespeare say about economic topics such as options trading, Enron, a sinking U.S. dollar, & CEO compensation packages? Silverstein rewrote some of the greatest verse of great poets past in a way that gives these dead masters the posthumous opportunity to comment on contemporary financial market shenanigans. The upshot is the present collection. Chapters: market machinations, labor & mgmt., market fear & loathing, investing tips in verse, tax angst, the Fed. Reserve & its instruments, the players & their games, financial market haiku, currencies, & Shakespeare on Wall Street. Illustrated.
