Clockwork of an American mind : uncovering the psychological development of J.P. Morgan : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

The actions of individuals are dictated by their circumstances and experiences. Often the events of an individual's youth play a significant role in dictating the type of person he or she will become. In this essay, I analyze the personality of the American financier J.P. Morgan in terms of his childhood and examine the manner in which his early experiences influenced the decisions of his later life.
