Chance made him acquainted with Hamelin, an engineer whose residence in the East had suggested to him financial schemes which at once attracted the attention of Saccard. With a view to financing these schemes the Universal Bank was formed, and by force of advertising became immediately successful. Emboldened by success, Saccard launched into wild speculation... --- \"Judged by the standard of popularity, 'Money' may be said to rank among M. Zola's notable achievements... This is not surprising, as the book deals with a subject of great interest to every civilized community. And with regard to this English version, it may, I think, be safely said that its publication is well timed, for the rottenness of our financial world has become such a crying scandal, and the inefficiency of our company laws has been so fully demonstrated, that the absolute urgency of reform can no longer be denied.\" (Ernest Alfred Vizetelly)","brand":"Mondial","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055645016304,"sku":"9781595690630","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781595690630_p0.jpg?v=1763809552","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781595690630","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
