En savoir plus sur le livre

Gambling's role in industrializing America is explored through its connections to speculation and land investment in the nineteenth century. Ann Fabian highlights how, despite conflicting with American and Protestant work ethics, gambling developed a unique stigma that set it apart from other profit-making ventures, which were more socially acceptable. This work delves into the cultural, social, and business history surrounding these practices, providing a comprehensive look at the complexities of wealth acquisition in that era.
