Standing alongside J. P. Morgan, Andrew Carnegie, and John D. Rockefeller, Charles Tyson Yerkes (1837-1905) was one of the most colorful and controversial public figures in nineteenth-century America. Robber Baron is the first biography of the streetcar magnate who was the mastermind behind Chicago's Loop Elevated and the London Underground and namesake of the University of Chicago's observatory. Yerkes also served as the inspiration for Frank Cowperwood, the ruthless protagonist of Theodore Dreiser's Trilogy of Desire: The Financier, The Titan, and The Stoic. Despite various philanthropic efforts, Yerkes and his unscrupulous tactics were despised by the press and public, and he left Chicago a bitter man. John Franch has drawn upon every available source to tell the complete story of a man desperate to leave a lasting impression on his world. While Yerkes's enduring public works testify to his success, Robber Baron uncovers the cost of this boundless ambition.

Horace and his mother Mrs. Cleveland embarked on a journey through dangerous robber infested country. The adventures that followed in a remote cave show how God was at work in those who were held captive. Horace was shackled for ransom, but the robbers were bound by different chains. A.L.O.E. develops this spiritual metaphor and points to being set free in Christ. “The Bible was to him as the Father’s letter, treasured in the bosom of the Son; as the charter by which he held all his dearest hopes; as the ‘pardon signed and sealed’ granted to the prisoner by the grace of his King.”

Sergeant Dimplemoser hears Grandmother’s cries and comes to her aid, but Hotzenplotz has evaded the useless police for years. So Kasperl and Seppel vow to catch the robber themselves. But catching robbers is not as easy as all that ...

With Trillions On the Table, Nobody Plays Fair, and Everyone Plays For KeepsThe New Robber Barons, is an anthology of Janet Tavakoli’s original chiefly web-based articles from the September 2008 financial crisis through February 2012. The original commentaries are unrevised so that readers experience the real-time thought process. Some background was repeated in commentaries so that they could read as stand-alone articles as events unfolded. These articles pick up where her mainstream print book, Dear Mr. Buffett: What an Investor Learns 1,269 Miles from Wall Street (Wiley, 2009), ended. She exposes the criminogenic environment that enabled international oligarchs to solidify power.Tavakoli's conclusions were eventually confirmed by Congressional investigations.Praise for Janet M.
