The development of China's financial industry is a part of American economic development. In the long-term development, it has accumulated a lot of wealth, has its own value orientation and long-term strategy, and embodies the characteristics of the development of a big country. Through the cold observation of American financial industry, we can understand the characteristics of American financial industry more comprehensively and systematically.

From 1653 to 1999, the American financial industry developed from an ordinary street on Wall Street to the core industry of world finance, which had a decisive impact on the global financial market and global economy. There are many financial institutions in the United States, such as banks, insurance, asset management, investment banks, hedge funds and so on. Foreign exchange, currency, stocks, bonds, futures and other financial markets are also varied. There are also various complicated laws and regulations and professional and authoritative supervision systems. This huge and complex system is very efficient and productive, but it is also prone to unexpected storms and costly crises. Finance, both enviable and frightening, is often elusive.
