E64: Building A Nation - J.P. Morgan, the Titan of American Finance

  • Resumen

  • This week, host Troy Edgar explores the life and lasting impact of J.P. Morgan, the titan of American finance.

    In this episode, we trace J.P. Morgan's company transformation from a family enterprise to a global financial powerhouse. Learn how his business practices laid the groundwork for modern banking and inadvertently sparked antitrust laws such as the Sherman Antitrust Act and the Clayton Act. Join us as we examine the interplay between business, government, and public interest that is still as relevant today as it was in the Progressive Era.
