From the bestselling author of The Ascent of Money and The Square
and the Tower "Prodigiously researched but also splendidly
written-clear and vivid and precise." --The Wall Street Journal
Drawing on more than ten thousand hitherto unavailable letters and
diary entries, bestselling author Niall Ferguson tells the story of
Siegmund Warburg, a complex man who was as much a psychologist, a
politician, and an actor-manager as a banker. An obsessive
perfectionist with an aversion to excessive risk, Warburg-and the
S. G. Warburg firm-adopted a financial philosophy that was the
antithesis of the debt-fueled, algorithm-driven banking of our
time. In High Financier, Niall Ferguson recaptures the meticulous
business methods and strict ethical code that set Warburg apart
from the mere speculators and traders who inhabit today's financial
world.
