Serving a long apprenticeship as the assistant city correspondent of The Times, Morier Evans progressed to become the City editor of The Standard in 1857, where he remained for fifteen years. He authored a wide range of popular books about the City, including accounts of the commercial crises of 1847-48 and 1857-58. This book, still widely cited by scholars of white-collar crime, provides a readable and detailed account of some of the leading business scandals of the 1840s and 1850s, from the career of railway entrepreneur George Hudson, the frauds and forgeries of several company employees, such as William James Robson and Leopold Redpath, and several banking failures of the mid-1850s, including the Tipperary Joint-Stock Bank and the Royal British Bank. For Evans, these were not isolated cases, but evidence of a worsening commercial morality which itself was the result of the widespread desire to get rich in a hurry. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
