Features: He was a self-made millionaire, a legendary stock trader, a widely watched investor, a capitalist who understood business risks, and a manager who conquered both Wall Street and Washington. In the first half of the 20th century, this German descendant became a formidable figure in both the American stock market and politics: when mentioning the tobacco king Duke, one cannot fail to mention him; when talking about Morgan, one is inevitably reminded of him. He was equally passionate about the stock market and politics, earning titles like "presidential advisor" and "park bench politician," yet people were more inclined to call him "the one who sold out before the stock market crash." The author of this book, one of the best financial writers in the United States—James Grant—successfully portrays the legendary life of this investment genius through a biographical form.
