{"product_id":"for-the-love-of-money-james-patrick-rooney-9798897472659","title":"For the Love of Money: Four Dizzying Decades Riding the Merrill Lynch Bull","description":"\u003cp\u003eStarting off in a toxic West Palm Beach penny stock boiler room, James Patrick Rooney joins Merrill Lynch's \"thundering herd\" at the opening of arguably the most disruptive four decades in Wall Street history (1983 through 2017). As the nascent Information Age rapidly transforms his trade, what follows is an eye-opening, often enraging account of congressional and C-suite ineptitudes largely responsible for the decade-long \"savings and loan crisis\" and the irrational \"new paradigm\" economy, culminating in back-to-back periods of wealth destruction rivaled only by the Great Depression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the Love of Money-cynical at times, humorous at others-is as much a personal and spiritual growth parable as it is one man's dizzying romp on the Merrill Lynch bull, presenting aspirational tales of angels and heroes along with the wisdom of sages capable of guiding us toward an enduring sense of meaning and happiness. And it just may offer the inspirational spark so many desperately need during our precarious times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Patrick Rooney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798897472659\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Koehler Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d","brand":"James Patrick Rooney","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48852998750463,"sku":"9798897472659","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/for-the-love-of-money-james-patrick-rooney-9798897472659","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
