JP Morgan also ended the US's first major economic depression by paying off the US debt, or at least arranging for it to be paid off by a consortium he put together. Can you imagine that happening today?
Morgan's another guy who is just fascinating. He wanted to win, but I'm not sure he wanted money. He wanted to be the Most Powerful Man Alive, and I think he got his rocks off bailing out the US government.

Just got halfway through the latest episode and had to turn it off. They were just making things up about Rockefeller regarding the coal interests. He hired a former minister to handle all of his non-standard oil investments and Rockefeller had little to no involvement in the investment decisions made. He was fully retired from Standard Oil at that point and was in his 60's. Carnegie was even older by that point, yet they keep showing these guys as though they never aged past 35. I enjoyed it to that point, but the inaccuracy just became too much to bear.
