Bernard M. Baruch (Libros)

Bernard M. Baruch Libros

Bernard Mannes Baruch, conocido como el "Estadista del Banco del Parque", amasó su fortuna en Wall Street, pero su mayor desafío y satisfacción provino de servir a su país como asesor económico durante ambas Guerras Mundiales y como confidente de seis presidentes. Construyó su riqueza a través de la especulación bursátil, experimentando tanto pérdidas significativas como notables recuperaciones a lo largo de su vida. La posesión de una vasta plantación en Carolina del Sur le proporcionó un refugio donde valoraba la privacidad y la tranquilidad. Su experiencia en la economía y los recursos industriales de la nación lo convirtió en un asesor indispensable para los presidentes.

Baruch My Own Story

Bernard M. Baruch - one of the most remarkable men of our time - was an office boy at nineteen, a Wall Street partner at twenty-five, and a millionaire before he was thirty-five. For some men this success would mark the climax of a career; for Baruch it was only the beginning of a still greater one. In the fifty years since he made his first fortune, Bernard Baruch has been a trusted counselor of Presidents, an adviser on social and economic reforms, a statesman who has worked with two political parties and won the respect of both. In this, the first volume of his memoirs, Mr. Baruch analyzes his personal philosophy and shows how it helped him solve the many problems that confronted him in his public life as chairman of the War Industries Board during World War I and as United States representative on the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission. Informal yet penetrating, intimate yet never losing sight of major events and issues, BARUCH: My Own Story is infused with the remarkable personality of a truly distinguished American.
