What Show Have You Got, Little Man?
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A 1908 Depiction of Wall Street Greed and the Power of the Few over the Many This illustration, dated April 8, 1908, portrays a man in a top hat and tuxedo, labeled "Stock Manipulation," engaging in illicit activities on a grand playing table labeled "Wall Street." The table is adorned with a deck of marked cards, a stack of gambling chips, loaded dice, and a brace roulette wheel. Behind the man, money bags and papers with labels such as "Fiduciary Funds," "Treasury Deposits," "Other Peoples Money," "Bank Loans," and "Pools" are conspicuously displayed, emphasizing the wealth and power amassed through manipulation and deceit. In the foreground, a diminutive man, holding his savings behind his back, looks up at the man in awe, asking, "What show have you got, little man?" This poignant question encapsulates the essence of the Gilded Age, where the wealthy and powerful, often through underhanded means, controlled the financial landscape, leaving the masses at their mercy. The illustration serves as a stark reminder of the stark contrast between the haves and the have-nots during this era, shedding light on the rampant corruption and greed that permeated Wall Street and the broader financial system. This powerful image, with its intricate details and thought-provoking narrative, continues to resonate with audiences today, offering a glimpse into the past and the enduring impact of financial manipulation on society.
