Morgan called a meeting of New York's financial leaders after the stock market crash of 1907, Hetty Green was the only woman in the room. The \u003cem\u003eGuinness Book of World Records\u003c\/em\u003e memorialized her as the World's Greatest Miser, and, indeed, this unlikely robber baron -- who parlayed a comfortable inheritance into a fortune that was worth about 1.6 billion in today's dollars -- was frugal to a fault. But in an age when women weren't even allowed to vote, never mind concern themselves with interest rates, she lived by her own rules. In \u003cem\u003eHetty\u003c\/em\u003e, Charles Slack reexamines her life and legacy, giving us, at long last, a splendidly \"nuanced portrait\" \u003cem\u003e(Newsweek)\u003c\/em\u003e of one of the greatest -- and most eccentric -- financiers in American history.\u003cp\u003eThis P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47153511956720,"sku":"9780062038111","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780062038111_p0.jpg?v=1769910975","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780062038111","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
