TOM WOLFE ON THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE, BROADWAY AND DISNEYLAND.

TOM WOLFE ON THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE, BROADWAY AND DISNEYLAND. It’s amazing how prescient Tom Wolfe has been. Radical chic, flak catchers, masters of the universe, the combustion at Duke. Here are his comments on the financial crisis. It also includes his opinion on theater. He says that the New York Stock Exchange, because of the computer, is “an anachronism, like Broadway…..Broadway and the Exchange are like the first thing you see when you enter Disneyland in California. You find yourself in a turn-of-the-last-century town with a trolley and an apothecary and a barber shop. That’s Broadway and Wall Street today.”
