J. Pierpont Morgan, Financial Entrepreneur (2012 Haaga Lecture)
Jean Strouse, author of “Morgan: American Financier,” discusses the life of J. Pierpont Morgan, the titan of American industry who not only imposed order on the chaotic creation of American railroads, but also organized General Electric, U.S. Steel, International Harvester, and served as a one-man central bank before the United States had a Federal Reserve. Strouse is the Sue Ann and John Weinberg Director of the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers at the New York Public Library. This talk was the 2012 Paul G. Haaga Lecture in American Entrepreneurship at The Huntington.
