This is a biography of William McChesney Martin Jr. (1906-1998), the first paid president of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the chairman of the Federal Reserve System (Fed) under Presidents Harry S. Truman to Richard Nixon. The extent of Martin's influence on the course of American economic history was significant: arguably he has done more to strengthen and reform the nation's most important financial institutions than has any other individual. This book recounts Martin's life story, and explains his lasting impact on the NYSE and the Fed, both troubled institutions that he transformed.
