What's Wrong with Wall Street

Louis Lowenstein. Addison Wesley Publishing Company, $10.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-201-51796-5

Lowenstein argues that the frenzied turnover in trading stocks is endangering the stability of America's economy. He decries the creation of ``derived securities'' like stock index futures and the dangerous levels of debt used to finance hostile takeovers. This is ``a thought-provoking analysis of our stock markets' recent performance,'' wrote PW. (Oct.)
