Oil Promoters and Investors in the Jazz Age
by Roger M. Olien and Diana Davids Olien
During the great oil speculation of the 1920s both
promoters and investors became victims of their
common greed Roger Olien and Diana Olien
detail the economic context of the oil mania and
relate it to the real estate and securities markets in
the Roaring Twenties, outlining the activities of
several specific oil promoters. This fascinating story
of the jazz-age warping of the American dream
breaks new ground in American social and business
history and offers new insights into the culture of
American capitalism. "[A] sprightly, well-researched
account of a neglected area of business history."
