Fraud
Author: Edward J. Balleisen
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691183074
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 494
Book Description
A comprehensive history of fraud in America, from the early nineteenth century to the subprime mortgage crisis In America, fraud has always been a key feature of business, and the national worship of entrepreneurial freedom complicates the task of distinguishing salesmanship from deceit. In this sweeping narrative, Edward Balleisen traces the history of fraud in America—and the evolving efforts to combat it—from the age of P. T. Barnum through the eras of Charles Ponzi and Bernie Madoff. This unprecedented account describes the slow, piecemeal construction of modern institutions to protect consumers and investors—from the Gilded Age through the New Deal and the Great Society. It concludes with the more recent era of deregulation, which has brought with it a spate of costly frauds, including corporate accounting scandals and the mortgage-marketing debacle. By tracing how Americans have struggled to foster a vibrant economy without encouraging a corrosive level of cheating, Fraud reminds us that American capitalism rests on an uneasy foundation of social trust.

Pages : 424
Book Description
Excerpt from A Political Crime: The History of the Great Fraud The election of Tilden and Hendricks by the people: Sectional prejudices and class interests: The crime of the nineteenth century admitted by republicans: The patriotism of Mr. Tilden: His preference for private life: The great labors he had performed in the service of the State: The irreparable loss to the people of the United States: - The foolhardy attempt to maintain alien governments in the Southern States their overthrow hailed with joy by all good people. On Tuesday, November 7th, 1876, the people of the United States, by their suffrages, selected for President and Vice-President, Samuel J. Tilden and Thomas A. Hendricks, and were deprived of their choice by illegal methods, bolstered by frauds, perjuries, and forgeries. Sectional prejudices, engendered by years of violent political agitation, and intensified by civil war, the excitement of a fiercely contested presidential campaign, and vast and widely ramifying financial interests, warped the judgement of many good men and constrained them then to countenance and acquiesce in the acts of politicians bent on self-aggrandizement, intent upon the gratification of their ambition, and determined, at all hazards, to perpetuate their power. Calm reflection, sober reasoning, deliberate consideration in the midst of the wild excitement of that hour was, perhaps, more than ought to have been expected.
