The Death of the Banker: The Decline and Fall of the Great Financial Dynasties and the Triumph of the Sma LL Investor"For anyone interested in the world behind the business page headlines, this is the book to read." Publishers Weekly With the same breadth of vision and narrative lan he brought to his monumental biographies of the great financiers, Ron Chernow examines the forces that made dynasties like the Morgans, the Warburgs, and the Rothschilds the financial arbiters of the early twentieth century and then rendered them virtually obsolete by the century's end.

"For anyone interested in the world behind the business-page headlines, this is the book to read." --Publishers Weekly

With the same breadth of vision and narrative lan he brought to his monumental biographies of the great financiers, Ron Chernow examines the forces that made dynasties like the Morgans, the Warburgs, and the Rothschilds the financial arbiters of the early twentieth century and then rendered them virtually obsolete by the century's end.

As he traces the shifting balance of power among investors, borrowers, and bankers, Chernow evokes both the grand theater of capital and the personal dramas of its most fascinating protagonists. Here is Siegmund Warburg, who dropped a client in the heat of a takeover deal because the man wore monogrammed shirt cuffs, as well as the imperious J. P. Morgan, who, when faced with a federal antitrust suit, admonished Theodore Roosevelt to "send your man to my man and they can fix it up." And here are the men who usurped their power, from the go-getters of the 1920s to the masters of the universe of the 1980s. Glittering with perception and anecdote, The Death of the Banker is at once a panorama of twentieth-century finance and a guide to the new era of giant mutual funds on Wall Street.

"Chernow . . . delivers a sound, accessible account of the forces shaping capital, credit, currency, and securities markets on the eve of a new millennium. "

Worked when nothing else did, easy, with just a scrubbing pad!
Material Type: Powder Ox, Size: 16 oz
I bought a Catalina 1977 sailboat. The hull (freeboard) was extremely oxidized, dull, and had stains and discoloration from the water running off the deck for years; it was streaked. Everything I tried to clean it did little, until a dockmate told me about this. WOW! It WORKED, and it worked very easily. It reminds me of the old "comet" cleanser, that shakes out of a can -- who knows, maybe its the same thing! A little goes a long way, and with very little elbow grease, I was able to attack the discoloration. Great. I also used it to clean my lifelines, which had discolored quite a bit -- and they now look like new. I LOVE this product, but probably won't buy it again for a few more years -- it lasts that long. Can't recommend it enough!

Poli cleaners.
Material Type: Powder Ox, Size: 16 oz
Our trailer was extremely oxidized. I used the Poli wash and fiberglass cleaner, super easy. It removed the oxidation and made our trailer look new again. Next I will try the Poli sealer.

Works OK.
Material Type: Powder Ox, Size: 16 oz
With a lot of work and diligence (elbow grease), the product works at removing oxidation. I expected it to easily remove the old Poliglow as well. Still lots of work. It will NOT remove the brown water stains from the roof of my molded fiberglass camper. Product is OK, but does not work as easily as advertised.
