Subject(s): Financial crises--Social aspects
Click on image to zoom in
George Stuart Smith argues that “manufacture of markets by mechanical manipulation” is one of the most important subjects to discuss at this time because of its affect on the financial security of millions of people. Smith has tried to predict the outcomes of this issue, and plans to send Theodore Roosevelt pieces of the Wagner Advisory Letter so that he can understand the situation as well. Smith, recognizing the multiple financial panics of 1907, disagrees with The New York Times that Roosevelt was responsible.
