Guide Review - Morgan: American Financier by Jean Strouse
Jean Strouse's Morgan: American Financier is an amazing biography that has not only made national bestseller lists, but was the New York Time's Editors' Choice. In it, author Jean Strouse tells the story of an amazing man who single handedly controlled the American economy in a time when there was no Federal Reserve or central bank. Time after time, J.P. Morgan managed to guide the financial markets, avoiding disaster and providing liquidity during bank crises. His life and work ethic can be an example to all investors and managers.
