Henriques takes readers back to a time when America's financial landscape was a jungle ruled by the titans of vast wealth, largely unrestrained by government. Roosevelt ran for office in 1932 vowing to curb that ruthless capitalism and make the world of finance safer for ordinary savers and investors. His deeply personal campaign to tame the Street is one of the great untold dramas in American history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSuccess in this political struggle was far from certain for FDR and his New Deal allies, who included the political dynasty builder Joseph P.
