Wall Street Values

Explore the interplay between ethics and finance in Michael A. Santoro's enlightening book, Wall Street Values, published by Cambridge University Press in 2012. With 244 pages of insightful analysis, Santoro tackles the pressing questions surrounding Wall Street's pivotal role in the financial crises that have shaped our economy.

As he chronicles the significant transformation of Wall Street's business model—from prioritizing client service to engaging in proprietary trading—Santoro uncovers how this shift has eroded the ethical foundations of the financial industry. His compelling examination not only sheds light on past failures but also prompts readers to consider the moral responsibilities of financial institutions today.

This hardback edition is essential for anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics of business ethics within the securities industry, making it a valuable addition to both academic and personal libraries.
