When J P Morgan called a meeting of New York's financial leaders after the stock market crash of 1907, Hetty Green was the only woman in the room The Guinness Book of World Records memorialized her as the World's Greatest Miser, and, indeed, this unlikely robber baron -- who parlayed a comfortable inheritance into a fortune that was worth about 1 6 billion оехшу in today's dollars -- was frugal to a fault But in an age when women weren't even allowed to vote, never mind concern themselves with interest rates, she lived by her own rules In Hetty, Charles Slack reexamines her life and legacy, giving us, at long last, a splendidly "nuanced portrait" (Newsweek) of one of the greatest -- and most eccentric -- financiers in American history This P S edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.  Художники:2005 г Мягкая обложка, 288 стр ISBN 0060542578.
