Forging Capitalism: Rogues, Swindlers, Frauds, and the Rise of Modern Finance (Yale Series in Economic and Financial History) 

克勞斯記載通過三個不同時代的演變：值的時代，網絡和聲譽的年齡，最終在提高技術的世界，財富，懷疑和驗證的年齡。在今天的世界裡，大型國際金融機構的可疑交易和這個非同尋常的歷史有很大的相關性，提供兩個重要教訓 : 必需和信任的局限性

Taken together, the grand deceptions of the ambitious schemers and the determined efforts to guard against them have been instrumental in creating the financial establishments of today. In a story teeming with playboys and scoundrels and rich in colorful and amazing events, Klaus chronicles the evolution of trust through three distinct epochs: the age of values, the age of networks and reputations, and, ultimately, in a world of increased technology and wealth, the age of skepticism and verification. In today’s world, where the questionable dealings of large international financial institutions are continually in the spotlight, this extraordinary history has great relevance, offering essential lessons in both the importance and the limitations of trust
