An obsessive perfectionist with an aversion to excessive risk, Warburg-and the S. G. Warburg firm-adopted a financial philosophy that was the antithesis of the debt-fueled, algorithm-driven banking of our time. In High Financier, Niall Ferguson recaptures the meticulous business methods and strict ethical code that set Warburg apart from the mere speculators and traders who inhabit today's financial world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNiall Ferguson is one of the world's most renowned historians.
