Market Speculation in the Muckraker Era: The Popular Reaction

Cedric B. Cowing

Business History Review, 1957, vol. 31, issue 4, 403-413

Abstract: In the 1890–1907 period Populist-Progressive protests, public ignorance of the economic functions involved, and obvious abuses in the performance of those functions combined to produce a major peak of adverse opinion. Public protest shaped the course of stock exchange history through subsequent decades and yielded operator prototypes that have become classic Americana.
