Lawson’s depiction of “the System” has little to do with the discovery of an abstract and impersonal system underpinning the work of Wall Street and is, instead, more a litany of personal grievances and self-justification for his wayward actions. Although Lawson shared with Progressive critics a concern for the systematic corruption of high finance, the plots of both Frenzied Finance and his novel, Friday, the Thirteenth (New York: Doubleday, 1907), are motivated by a very personal desire for revenge. His repeated warnings about impending market panics often had the effect of bringing about the very thing he seemed to fear; what’s more, at times benefitted financially from making bearish bets on the sly.
