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 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.
