Anon A: Project AG

Project AG

The first biography of one of the most influential and innovative figures in the history of American finance who revolutionized Wall Street and whose story reads like a real-life Great Gatsby J.P. Morgan. John D. Rockefeller. Charles E. Mitchell. These are some of the most prominent icons of wealth and influence during the Roaring Twenties. Yet the one figure who has strangely escaped notice all these years is an enigmatic banker by the name of Clarence Dillon.&nbsp;In the dazzling 1920s,&nbsp;as he rose in wealth and influence,&nbsp;Dillon became one of the original behind-the-scenes players in Hollywood, and his contact list included everyone from Thomas Edison to Charlie Chaplin and Joseph P. Kennedy to FDR. Like many great figures in history, Dillon’s personality was complex and contradictory: he could be utterly ruthless and cold-blooded, yet he was also sophisticated and elegant.&nbsp;This immensely influential man left a lasting mark on the history of finance in America. Yet, strangely, he&nbsp;eluded the close attention of biographers and historians—until now. &gt;<ul><li> Created modern bankruptcy law</li><li> Pioneered leveraged buyouts</li><li> Invented junk bonds</li><li> Engineered some of the biggest mergers and acquisitions ever seen</li> This first-ever inside look at&nbsp;Dillon and his life will fill a void in how we view the wild excesses of the Roaring Twenties, and how we understand the increasingly complex nexus between Wall Street and political power in our own time.&nbsp;The Baron of Wall Street&nbsp;is a vivid, novelistic account of Wall Street’s most formative years and its transformation through one&nbsp;dynamic and influential player in the financial world, highlighting his&nbsp;significant role in shaping US foreign policy today.

Clarence Dillon and the Making of the Modern Financial World

The Baron of Wall Street

Start with Yourself

A fleet of modern rockets among the most powerful in the world. A lunar land rush that has sparked a competition over the strategic high ground. Scientific discoveries that could offer new insights into the origins of the solar system. Escalating brinkmanship between the world's two richest men. Space has entered a golden age, and this is just the beginning. After the first Trump administration launched the Artemis program, NASA created a historic competition that pit Elon Musk's SpaceX against Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin, flanked far away by Russia and China. At stake: billions of dollars, national prestige, and a place in the history books. In this gripping work, veteran reporter Christian Davenport chronicles the mad scramble to shape humanity's off-planet future. He takes readers behind the scenes at NASA and the Pentagon as China's aggressive moon mining and military plans raise alarms, onto the sprawling Cape Canaveral factory where Bezos works toward Amazon-style lunar deliveries, and onto SpaceX launch pads as Musk's engineers log 100-hour weeks, ultimately pulling off the harrowing but triumphant launch of its first human spaceflight mission. What will happen as frenetic public and private ambition outpaces governmental regulation? Who will win the race to the moon, and will the US finally be able to start a real push toward Mars? Masterfully paced, rigorously reported, and vividly told, Rocket Dreams weaves cutting-edge science with high-stakes capitalism and old-fashioned nationalism into a vision of humanity's next giant leap.

Translating Passion Into Purpose and Creating a Billion-Dollar Business

Dream Big and Win

The magnitude of error in building a skyscraper is staggeringly large. Flaws in engineering take on exponential importance with every level you go up. The cost of mistakes can easily multiply into tens of millions of dollars. If a piece of plywood isn't secured properly and flies off the deck, someone down below might end up dead. That's the horror of the business. It's also the beauty.
Autobiography of a Skyscraper-documenting in both words and pictures the making of 1000M, a 74-story gleaming tower in the heart of Chicago-is the story of the most dynamic workplace one could ever imagine. From the financiers who secure the many hundreds of millions of dollars needed for construction to the installers who jump atop the window frames from nearly a thousand feet up in the air, hundreds of people work together in the miracle of organization that is building a skyscraper. It is an orchestra, where no matter how small the part, everyone must play in tune and together.
The conductor of this particular orchestra is Francis Greenburger, a real estate titan with nearly half a century of investing in and developing properties around the world. However, just as 1000M was built by a wide array of skills, so&nbsp;Autobiography of a Skyscraper&nbsp;weaves the personal accounts of many of those involved into a single narrative of how a tower rises. Unlike traditional books on architecture and construction, it marries instructive and technical elements with the intimacy and pace of a memoir.
Architecture or urban planning buffs will be given a wide lens into understanding the impact of their work. For the casual reader, they will see the extent to which there's a gripping story behind every building in the sky.&nbsp;Autobiography of a Skyscraper&nbsp;will not only serve as a written record of this significant architectural addition to Chicago, but also as a blueprint for real estate developers, financial institutions, architects, city planners, designers, construction workers, and anybody else interested in what it takes to change a city's skyline.
