What comes to mind when you think of Wall Street? Money, stocks, shares, traders... greed? Over the years, the term Wall Street has come to represent the world of high finance, but it’s also just a street!
Wall Street is a symbol of an economic system, of financial and economic power, of elitism and power politics. But Wall Street is also a street, which is located in Lower-Manhattan, New York City. And before that, it was actually a wall – hence the name.
