《金融家》是德莱塞《欲望三部曲》的第一部。这部三部曲的历史背景是19世纪末叶,美国资本主义走向帝国主义阶段的时期,写的是金融巨头柯帕乌的个人发迹史。《金融家》主要描述柯帕乌从一个银行职员的儿子成为金融家的经过,以及他在费城金融界的罪恶活动。当柯帕乌在费城的投机欺诈正一帆风顺时,芝加哥的一场大火顿时使他陷入绝境,此后一连串的事态发展,如财政局长斯坦纳因事不在市内,使他无法筹款应急;他出于无奈向巴特勒承认挪用公款以求得“三巨头”的帮助;他和爱玲通奸事发等,终于造成他破产并锒铛入狱。小说通过对柯帕乌跟市财政局长斯坦纳狼狈为奸、营私舞弊,为了致富和地位,不惜采取任何手段的描写,揭示不道德的利己主义掠夺式的嘴脸,从而揭穿了资本主义的罪恶本质。
