Wall Street is corrupt and has been corrupt for generations. There are to be found the Great Men shuffling millions (and now billions) from one bank, one trust, one syndicate, and one scheme to the next. Wealth brings power and with the power comes more wealth.

Upton Sinclair tells us this tale through the eyes of a Wall Street lawyer in 1906. A man who is "in Society" but not truly "of Society". A man named Montague begins to bit by bit to see the true rape and pillage of the economy which is going on day by day.

The Moneychangers is Upton Sinclair's barely fictionalized account of the financial crisis, and in the novel, a character based on J.P. Morgan is lauded for rescuing everyone from a crisis that he created.

The narration is by AudioFile Magazine Earphones Award-winning narrator Peter Lerman.
