In a highly readable work that engages topics in American cultural, social and business history, Ann Fabian details the place of gambling in industrializing America. Card Sharps and Bucket Shops investigates the relationship between gambling and other ways of making profit, such as speculation and land investment, which became entrenched during the nineteenth century. While all these undertakings ran counter to deeply ingrained American -- and Protestant -- work ethics, only gambling took on a stigma that made other efforts to acquire wealth socially acceptable.Engaging topics in American cultural, social and business history, this text provides details of gambling in industrializing America. It investigates the relationship between gambling and other ways of making profit.
