The New York Stock Exchange: The First 200 Years, edited by James E. Buck and published in 1992 to commemorate the NYSE's bicentennial, offers a richly illustrated and comprehensive history of one of America's most significant financial institutions. Drawing extensively from the NYSE's archives, the book traces the Exchange's evolution from its inception under the Buttonwood Tree in 1792 to its status as a high-tech trading hub in the late 20th century. It delves into the Exchange's traditions, culture, and notable figures, providing insights into pivotal events such as the 1929 Crash and the 1987 Sell-Off, and highlighting the market's occasional detachment from economic realities until major downturns occur.
