In telling a chronological story of Morgan's life, the author (whose real name is supposedly Louis C. Fraina) presents a mass of facts (carefully citing references), with clarity, logic and emphasis. He draws a forceful picture of Morgan and the changes in American business at the time, but the book does not stand the test of careful examination of its workmanship. Its conception is Marxian - Morgan is represented as the highest in capitalistic exploitation as to personality, character, methods of operation, and control. The system which he helped to build is presented as illustrating high concentration in the Marxian sense. Unscholarly workmanship makes one doubt the whole book.
