<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>An insightful (<em>Publishers Weekly</em>) history of the development of American capitalism and the men who made it great.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Most Americans are familiar with the political history of the United States, but there is another history woven all through it, a largely forgotten history--the story of the money men. Acclaimed historian H. W. Brands brings them back to life: J. P. Morgan, who stabilized a foundering U.S. Treasury in 1907; Alexander Hamilton, who founded the first national bank, and Nicholas Biddle, under whose directorship it failed; Jay Cooke, who helped to finance the Union war effort through his then-innovative strategy of selling bonds to ordinary Americans; and Jay Gould, who tried to corner the market on gold in 1869 and as a result brought about Black Friday and fled for his life.</p>
