It reports on and analyses the highs and lows in Wall Street's development and the regular occurence of financial scandals. It examines the crisis in Wall Street that followed the collapse in the technology boom and the attacks on the World Trade Centre. In short, it provides a complete overview of Wall Street's workings and its importance.
