Indeed, the  speculative ethos that pervades Wall Street today, Tarnoff suggests,  has its origins in the counterfeiters who first took advantage of  America's turbulent economy. In \u003ci\u003eA Counterfeiter's Paradise\u003c\/i\u003e,  Tarnoff chronicles the lives of three colorful counterfeiters who  flourished in early America, from the colonial period to the Civil War.  Driven by desire for fortune and fame, each counterfeiter cunningly  manipulated the political and economic realities of his day. Through  the tales of these three memorable hustlers, Tarnoff tells the larger  tale of America's financial coming-of-age, from a patchwork of colonies  to a powerful nation with a single currency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eBen Tarnoff has worked at Lapham's Quarterly and his writing has appeared in The San Francisco Chronicle.
