The money men : capitalism, democracy, and the hundred years' war over the American dollar
"H. W. Brands recounts the century-long battle for the lifeblood of American commerce and power, focusing on five men whose lives and actions indelibly affected the course of American financial history. The story of these men is the story of how America transformed itself from a squabbling collection of small states into the foremost economic power in the world."--Jacket
