In the depths of the Great Depression, Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s administration set out to radically remake America’s financial system—but Wall Street was determined to stop them. In 1933, the American economy was in shambles, battered by the 1929 stock market crash and limping from the effects of the Great Depression. But the incoming administration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, elected on a wave of anxiety and hope, stormed Washington on a promise to save the American economy—and remake the entire American financial system. It was the opening salvo in a long war between Wall Street and Washington. Author Richard Farley takes a unique and detailed look at the pitched battles that followed—the fist fights, the circus-like stunts, the conmen and crooks, and the unlikely heroes—and shaped American capitalism. With a disparate cast of characters including Joseph P. Kennedy, J.P. Morgan, Huey Long, Babe Ruth, and Henry Ford (who refused to bail out his son’s bank, thus precipitating the meltdown of the entire banking system), Farley vividly traces the history of modern American finance and the establishment of a financial system still bitterly debated on Capitol Hill.

I was born and raised in the City of Philadelphia, PA., the City known famously throughout the world as the City of Brotherly Love. But for me growing up as a young boy and countless others it was a City more infamously known as the City of Brotherly Hate. It was during the late 60s a time that will live with me for the rest of my life. A time of great music the Temptations the Supremes Smokey Robinson and the Miracles just to name a few. A time world history was being made by men like Buzz Aldrin of Apollo 11 landing upon the Moon. A time the world would suffer the tragic loss of three great men the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert F. Kennedy. And also a time when street gangs of Philadelphia plagued the city with death and violence. I was a part of that gang culture I was a member of one of the largest gangs in West Philadelphia the 56th & Cedar Avenue gang. A violent gang of sociopathic drug addicts alcoholics and killers. They were my family my friends my peers my gang members and some my heros. I make no excuses for my being a part of this violent gang culture. There were no Doctors lawyers or wealthy business men who lived in my neighborhood. The people who had the wealth the money the finer things in life were the Pimps the Hustlers the Drug dealers. They were the people I admired the most and I wanted to be just like them. And so I would spend the most part of my youth in a world of street hustling drug dealing and most of all in a gang of violence and death. This is not just my story it is the story of countless others who are no longer here to tell it. I by the grace of God did survive and I am compelled to tell this true story. Not just for myself but for the countless others who did not survive the violence of street gangs. And for anyone else my story may save from a world of violence and death.

George Schade is a meticulous researcher. Throughout this book, Schade brings Richard Schabacker to life and immerses you in the exciting financial events of the 1920s and 1930s. You will gain useful knowledge from Schabacker’s astute observations on markets. George Schade won the Charles H. Dow Award for “outstanding research,” and here you will see why. –ROBERT R. PRECHTER, JR., Elliott Wave International The history of technical analysis is vanishing. With each passing a bit of the library burns down. There are a few who are fighting the fires. Chief among them is George Schade, a consummate researcher, whose biography of Richard Schabacker snatches this pioneer’s story from the onslaught of entropy. If you care about the history of technical analysis, and I think every trader and investor should, this work is a must read. –JOHN A. BOLLINGER, President, Bollinger Capital Management, Inc. One can only wonder what Richard Schabacker, Princeton graduate, writer, author, distinguished finance editor of Forbes Magazine, teacher, devoted husband and father, might have accomplished had he not died at the young age of 36. Schabacker’s many accomplishments included developing the first stock market “index” and a groundbreaking course in technical analysis. Little has been known about this quiet Wall Street figure that lived through the Roaring 20’s, the Crash of 1929 and the Depression. This is a meticulously researched and lovingly detailed book about a brilliant and complicated man who was “an ardent believer in the efficacy of charts” who felt “no individual can trade intelligently without them.” –GAIL M. DUDACK, Managing Director Dudack Research Group, a division of Wellington Shields & Co. LLC. George Schade masterfully tells the unknown story of a market genius. Schabacker comes alive in the pages of this thoroughly researched book. Readers feel the excitement of the market in that long ago era and the market action animates the tale of a life well lived but cut tragically short. This book belongs on the bookshelf of anyone interested in the stock market or anyone seeking an understanding of human nature and how success can hide personal problems until it's too late. –MICHAEL J. CARR, Senior Editor, Banyan Hill Publishing Although Richard Schabacker’s life was short-lived, he was a giant in the field of technical analysis, contributing so much to the subject and has left all of us so enriched as a result. His passion and devotion is captured in this very revealing book. His concepts are indelible: market psychology, stages of price/business cycles, sentiment and the combination of value investing with technical timing – they have empowered us. –RALPH J. ACAMPORA, Director of Technical Research for Altaira, Ltd.
