Description

During the reign of Carnegie, Rockefeller, and Morgan, no one navigated markets more successfully, or ruthlessly, than shadowy Jay Gould. In “AMERICAN RASCAL: How Jay Gould Built Wall Street’s Biggest Fortune” Author Greg Steinmetz revisits the often-overlooked robber baron. Greg traces Gould’s rise from an enterprising youth to owning 15% of all the railroads in the United States, and fortunes won and lost along the way. He shares how Gould isn’t the caricature that appears in Thomas Nast’s cartoons, but rather a complex figure during a time when insider trading was legal, and only the crooked survived.   Inside the ICE House: https://www.theice.com/insights/conversations/inside-the-ice-house
