When the President Took on the Banks
Susan Berfield, investigative reporter for Bloomberg Businessweek and Bloomberg News and the author of The Hour of Fate: Theodore Roosevelt, J.P. Morgan, and the Battle to Transform American Capitalism (Bloomsbury Publishing, 2020) talks about the moment in American history when a president (Theodore Roosevelt) challenged a banker (J.P. Morgan) and set the course for 20th century U.S. capitalism and looks for what that struggle can tell us as progressives again seek to set limits on markets.
