Morgan pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
A century ago, J. Pierpont Morgan bestrode the financial world like a colossus. The organizing force behind General Electric, U.S. Steel, and vast railroad empires, he served for decades as America's unofficial central banker: a few months after he died in 1913, the Federal Reserve replaced the private system he had devised. An early supporter of Thomas Edison and Andrew Carnegie, the confidant (and rival) of Theodore Roosevelt, England's Edward VII, and Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm, and the companion of several fascinating women, Morgan shaped his world and ours in countless ways. Yet since his death he has remained a mysterious figure, celebrated as a hero of industrial progress and vilified as a rapacious robber baron.
Here for the first time is the biography Morgan has long deserved--a magisterial, full-scale portrait of the man without whose dominating will American finance and culture would be very different from what they are today. In this beautifully crafted account, drawn from more than a decade's work in newly available archives, the award-winning biographer Jean Strouse animates Morgan's life and times to reveal the entirely human character behind the often terrifying visage.
Morgan brings eye-opening perspectives to the role the banker played in the emerging U.S. economy as he raised capital in Europe, reorganized bankrupt railroads, stabilized markets in times of crisis, and set up many of the corporate and financial structures we take for granted. And surprising new stories introduce us in vivid detail to Morgan's childhood in Hartford and Boston, his schooling in Switzerland and Germany, the start of his career in New York--as well as to his relations with his esteemed and exacting father, with his adored first and difficult second wives, with his children, partners, business associates, female consorts, and friends. Morgan had a second major career as a collector of art, stocking America with visual and literary treasures of the past. Called by one contemporary expert "the greatest collector of our time," he spent much of his energy and more than half of his fortune on art.
Strouse's extraordinary biography gives dramatic new dimension not only to Morgan but to the culture, political struggles, and social conflicts of America's momentous Gilded Age.

本书写风流的小摩根用了很少的笔墨,但后来逐渐放慢了速度。看那时候的历史感觉真叫一个爽。比如有普法战争和1853年危机,还有个巴林银行的投机泡沫造成的1890年危机。北太平洋的1871年危机印象不太深了。 原来金融危机这么容易发生,也就不大当回事了。 人有钱了就是好,作...
评分110万字,用了十余年事件写完,引用Professor Xu曾经说的话,叫薄皮大馅,印刷字体很紧凑、充实,不想有些书可以当做草稿纸。和文字相比,里面的图片就显得过于简陋了。在了解这位伟大的人物同时,也不禁感慨,贵族阶层对社会所肩负的重任,一代一代地被传承下来并发扬光大,精...
评分花了大半个月的时间,认真地细读了一下这本在总多摩根传记中比较有好评的一本,之所以花费这么多时间来看这本书,不是因为想把它当作一本成功学,或者说立志学的书(作者的行文方式也不能把它看成一本成功学著作)而是自身对摩根这个金融大鳄的好奇与从某种意义上的欣赏。 单...
评分这本书是美国巨头J P Morgan的传记之一,对他的成长、发迹、事业、家庭等做了一个回顾,对了解上世纪初美国金融界的大事有帮助。他鼻子巨大,眼神锐利,从小叛逆、好色(欲望强烈,能同时喜欢好几个女孩子,分流到75岁),数学好,从小就被培养要做生意,知道自己的未来在哪里...
