meditations from over 75 authors about how stones—from the tiniest
pebble to the largest monument—have influenced and guided us during
pivotal moments in our lives. Pagliari is the contributing author

The Hellhound of Wall Street: How Ferdinand Pecora's Investigation
of the Great Crash Forever Changed American Finance
2010
The book examines the 1933 hearings that put Wall Street
on trial for the Great Crash. It focuses on the ten dramatic days
when Ferdinand Pecora, a Sicilian immigrant turned Senate
investigator, cross-examined the officers of the National City Bank
of New York (today's Citigroup), particularly its chairman, Charles
Mitchell, one of the best known bankers of his day. Pecora's
rigorous questioning exposed City Bank's financial abuses,
revelations that galvanized public opinion and led directly to the
New Deal's landmark economic reforms. |
