Excellent short biographies
This is a great book for reading the short bios of the financial history makers. I just picked and chose the people I was interested in reading about.
Interesting read for those interested in financial history
100 great biographies of the most influential personalities that affect the markets even today. If you're interested in how our markets developed from it's chaotic beginning this is a great book. I particularly enjoyed the section on crooks and scams. It's amazing some of the things people will do.
