520 _a"Frenzied Finance, Vol. 1: The Crime of Amalgamated" by Thomas William Lawson is a critical historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the intricacies of the financial world during a time of immense corporate evolution, focusing on the infamous Amalgamated Copper Company and the corrupt practices of the financial elite. Lawson aims to expose the "System" that allows colossal corporations to exploit public funds and manipulate financial markets for their gain, putting a spotlight on key figures like Henry H. Rogers and John D. Rockefeller." "The opening of the narrative introduces readers to the backdrop of Lawson's experiences within high finance and the formation of Amalgamated Copper. He shares insights into the financial manipulations that allowed this corporation to defraud investors and highlights his own role and subsequent realization of being ensnared by a corrupt financial system. The account begins with the foundation of the Amalgamated Copper Company, illustrating how it was built on shady dealings and misrepresentations. Lawson begins to outline the broader implications of these practices, preparing to delve deeper into the motivations and machinations that define this tumultuous period in corporate America."
