The Market-Place
あらすじ
The Market-Place is a novel by Harold Frederic, published posthumously in 1899. It centers on Joel Thorpe, a powerful financier whose rise is tied to a rubber syndicate, through which he builds a fortune. With his success, Thorpe marries into English aristocracy and gains wealth and leisure, but the change leaves him without the drive and commanding strength he once had. The novel examines the ethics of making money and considers how ambition shapes modern business. Through Thorpe’s situation, it presents finance as a realm where daring and imagination can be both enabling forces and sources of moral tension.
