In Jesse Livermore's Two Books of Market Wisdom, two seminal works attributed to the legendary Jesse Livermore are compiled into a single volume, complete with a new foreword by Juliette Rogers. The collection includes insights into Livermore's life and the factors that contributed to his remarkable success in the stock market. Written during the early 1920s, a time when Livermore was already a celebrated figure in finance, these works capture the essence of a nation transitioning from war to peace and the burgeoning fascination with wealth and celebrity.
