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...

History has remembered J. Pierpont Morgan as a complex and contradictory figure, part robber baron and part patron saint. Now this magisterial biography, based extensively on new material, draws a definitive, full-scale portrait of Morgan's tumultuous life both in and out of the public eye.Morgan earned his reputation as "the Napoleon of Wall Street" by reorganizing the nation's railroads and creating some of its greatest industrial trusts, including General Electric and U.S. Steel. At a time when the United States had no Federal Reserve System, he appointed himself a one-man central bank. He had two wives, three yachts, four children, six houses, mistresses, and one of the finest art collections in America. In this extraordinary book, award-winning biographer Jean Strouse vividly portrays the financial colossus, the avid patron of the arts, and the entirely human character behind all the myths. Brilliantly crafted, epic in scope, Morgan reveals a man we have never seen before, offering new insights on the culture, political struggles, and social conflicts of America's Gilded Age.
