J. P. Morgan the "Master of Money", 1902

Entitled: "Alexander the Great has more worlds to conquer. After 'reMorganizing' the nation's railroads and steel industry, the master of the money trust announced his plan for a huge British-American shipping combine, a move that prompted this hostile cartoon of 1902." John Pierpont Morgan (April 17, 1837 - March 31, 1913) was an American financier, banker, and art collector. In 1892, Morgan arranged the merger of Edison General Electric and Thomson-Houston Electric Company to form General Electric. He was instrumental in the creation of the United States Steel Corporation. From 1890-1913, 42 major corporations were organized or their securities were underwritten, in whole or part, by J.P. Morgan and Company. At the height of Morgan's career during the early 1900s, he and his partners had financial investments in many large corporations and had significant influence over the nation's high finance and US Congress members. He directed the banking coalition that stopped the Panic of 1907. He was the leading financier of the Progressive Era, and his dedication to efficiency and modernization helped transform American business. Morgan was a physically big man with massive shoulders and piercing eyes. He died in Rome, Italy, in his sleep in 1913 at the age of 75.

Descripción:
Traducción automática: Titulado: "Alejandro Magno tiene más mundos que conquistar. Después de 'reorganizar' los ferrocarriles y la industria siderúrgica de la nación, el amo del trust del dinero anunció su plan para una gran unión naviera británico-estadounidense, una medida que motivó esta caricatura hostil de 1902". John Pierpont Morgan (17 de abril de 1837 - 31 de marzo de 1913) fue un financiero, banquero y coleccionista de arte estadounidense. En 1892, Morgan organizó la fusión de Edison General Electric y Thomson-Houston Electric Company para formar General Electric. Fue fundamental en la creación de la United States Steel Corporation. Entre 1890 y 1913, JP Morgan and Company organizó 42 grandes corporaciones o sus valores fueron suscritos, total o parcialmente. En el apogeo de la carrera de Morgan, a principios del siglo XX, él y sus socios tenían inversiones financieras en muchas grandes corporaciones y tenían una influencia significativa sobre las altas finanzas de la nación y los miembros del Congreso de los Estados Unidos. Dirigió la coalición bancaria que detuvo el pánico de 1907. Fue el principal financista de la Era Progresista y su dedicación a la eficiencia y la modernización ayudó a transformar el mundo empresarial estadounidense. Morgan era un hombre corpulento, de hombros enormes y mirada penetrante. Murió en Roma, Italia, mientras dormía en 1913 a la edad de 75 años.
