J. P. Morgan: The Life and Deals of America's Banker - Insight and Analysis into the Founder of Modern Finance and the American Banking System

Business Biographies and Memoirs - Titans of Industry, Book 2

De: J. R. MacGregor

Narrado por: Kevin Kollins

J. P. Morgan is more than just the name on one of the largest banks in America. He was a man who altered the course of American finance and the chief financier for the strategic interests of the titans of the day, such as Carnegie and Rockefeller. He also financed new and ingenious technologies developed by Thomas Edison and was a visionary who saw the potential in Nikola Tesla.

His ability was not limited to Wall Street, though, and his reputation was not bound by the shores of America. He touched core industries in his lifetime, from shipping to power to steel and provided the spark that reignited the economic soul of America after the Crash of 1907.

He had a personal side, too. Broken by the death of the love of his life, his once spritely demeanor changed, and he found solace in his work. The more he was befallen with sadness, the harder he worked, never once succumbing to the pressures of a world that was changing right around him.

J. P. Morgan built the financial world we live in today and did it with the might of his mind and the crux of his cane. The mold from which he came has long since been broken, and there is no other man, titan, or genius who has come close to the contributions he made for his industry and his country.

Hear all about him and find areas that you may have in common with this towering titan.

What a great way to listen

What a great way to listen about one of the greatest financial dynasties of all time. It's also a pretty great overview of US finance from 1850 to 1990.

A great listen

J. P. Morgan: The Life and Deals of America's Banker has really good writing and allows the listener to immerse in financial history and the involvement of JP Morgan in it.

A remarkable history of American finance

The story of the House of Morgan is more than a history of J. P. Morgan's bank it a history of the United States and much of the developed world seen through the eyes of men who knew everything about everybody who needed money. From governments
Morgan was so respected that he personally stopped the Bank Panic of 1907, there was no Federal Reserve then to instill confidence in markets but he could. For the most well known bank in the world the 23 Wall Street address of Morgan never had a name on the door! The book is so well researched and concisely written I recommend it to anyone who enjoys the real stories behind the press releases. The characters and intrigues include many great historical figures in a way you have never seen before. It is a wonderfully informative history of how the financial structure of the world evolved.

Although the book ends

The mergers with the combined Chase/Chemical/Manufacturers Hanover and with Bank One, and the Dimon era, it is a splendidly written, painstakingly researched history of the of Morgan,

The largest banks in America

Absolutely Amazing

It took me a bit long to listen , I really like this book I like the story the way the book is typed just amazing!!!!!!!

Fantastic history

A great look at the specific history of JP Morgan and more broadly at the development of financial and banking systems and the accompanying legal framework. An unvarnished look at the tribal undertones of a less politically correct time and the dichotomy that it presented.

Not recommend

I suggest this book is not recommended for everyone.There is no proper info about J.P Morgan. It will be better if it proviede all the info.

Excellent. Shows that the finance industry

Excellent. Shows that the finance industry, and in the USA that was Morgan for 100 years, banking outlives governments and wars. Must listening for anyone trying to understand modern global history.
