About this listen
This week we start a new series on Jay Gould, one of the richest men in America in the 1800s. He isn't one of the most well known titans of the time, but he was one of the richest men in America and was one of the pioneers of taking advantage of the stock market.
He manipulated the money markets in innovative, possibly criminal ways, and was the catalyst for a lot of market regulation on Wall Street and the railroads.
For the start of our series we talk about his beginnings in map surveying and leather tanning, his first forays in the railroad, and the lessons he was learning from the wealthy men of the time.
