Abstract

What does the American movie industry tell us about the economic role of Wall Street and the perception of the stock market over time? Through a substantial corpus of American films from the 20c. and 21c, this article illustrates how, in three distinct periods, Hollywood has been able to stage finance and contribute to the myth of Wall Street. A minor subject until the 1980s, these years have seen the appearance of financial blockbusters with the rise of the financialization of the economy. The subprime crisis renews the genre, questioning the place of the stock market and the ethics of traders.
