GRANT: LASTING INFLUENCE

LASTING INFLUENCE

Jim Grant is not only a financial thought leader, with his erudite, insightful and entertaining newsletter, Grant’s Interest Rate Observer, he is also a highly regarded and prolific financial historian who has penned several biographies, John Adams’ and Bernard Baruch’s among them. His latest subject, while less known, was one of the most influential financial and political journalists of the nineteenth century and still holds sway among economists because he authored the doctrine of central bank intervention.
