Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Originally published in 1919, A Century Of Prices outlines the central controlling principles of business and finance in the straightforward fashion of one businessman talking to another.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - 'He Who Sells What Isn't His'n Must Buy it Back or Go to Pris'n.' --'Uncle Dan'l' Drew Long out of print and virtually unavailable for years, THE BOOK OF DANIEL DREW is the irresistible story of a country boy who grew up to become Wall Street's first great speculator.

Originally published in 1910, THE BOOK OF DANIEL DREW is a true classic of the stock market. It's a fascinating look at an era in American financial history whose ethos was 'anything goes' and anything did.…
