Banker, man of letters, and inventor of the Treasury bill, Bagehot prescribed the doctrines that--decades later--inspired the radical responses to the world's worst financial crises. Persuasive and precocious, he was also the esteemed editor of the \u003cem\u003eEconomist\u003c\/em\u003e. He offered astute commentary on the financial issues of his day, held sway in political circles, made as many high-profile friends as enemies, and won the admiration of Matthew Arnold and Woodrow Wilson. Drawing on a wealth of historical documents, correspondence, and publications, James Grant paints a vivid portrait of the banker and his world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Grant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393358283\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393358285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
