#PoliticsoftheMarkets: Bumpy first half 2022, then Bull Run. Jim McTague, former Washington Editor, Barrons. @MctagueJ. #FriendsofHistoryDebatingSociety

Photo:  The tapeworm —Several ticker tapes stream from a machine, ensnaring unlucky investors, money bags, a ship, a house, and the entrance of a stock broker's office to which people frantically flock.  One man supports a woman who has fainted in his arms.  In a separately framed vignette, two men, one frustrated, the other, calm and happy, examine a ticker tape.

In the publication, the drawing accompanies a satirical poem about the power of stock market investments over people and their possessions.
