Beskrivning
In the 19th century the United States had no formal central bank or lender of last resort, but it did have J. P. Morgan. His unique knowledge of financial markets gave him almost omniscient knowledge for crafting solutions to financial crises. Before the Fed examines Morgan's unusual role in resolving the National Banking Era crises in the U. S., exploring the rocky relationships and ultimatums he used to settle financial panics. It traces how he learned crisis management lessons from his father, passing it along to his son in turn. Citing his own ledgers, telegrams and testimony, Jon Moen and Mary Tone Rodgers detail how Morgan applied and modified routine business practices to solve non-routine crises, managing risk and reward in emergency lending. Analyzing forty last resort loans made over his fifty-year career, the authors challenge the invincibility folklore surrounding Morgan, uncovering how he stabilized American markets when others could not.

Recensioner i media

'This outstanding book offers fresh insights on financial crises, J. P. Morgan, and business history. Its research exploits long-neglected archives, novel analysis, and masterful synthesis of events. And it highlights the impacts of information, collective action, social networks, tactics, precedents, and the willingness of leaders to risk private loss - all in combatting financial crises. The lessons are bracing and highly relevant to the present day.' Robert F. Bruner, Professor Emeritus and Dean Emeritus, University of Virginia, and co-author of The Panic of 1907: Heralding a New Era of Finance, Capitalism, and Democracy
