Ron Chernow

American biographer and financial historian who writes archival lives of Rockefeller, the Morgans, the Warburgs and Alexander Hamilton.

Titan and The House of Morgan reconstruct from company and family archives how Standard Oil consolidated an industry and how a private bank organised American capital before securities regulation existed. Both carry the detail on trust structures, rebates, syndicates and succession that later histories of American business cite.
