Life is short, so explore a multitude of fascinating historical, biographical, scientific, political, and financial topics in only an hour each.John D. Rockefeller Jr, 1874 to 1960, was an American financier and a prominent part of the industrial, political, and banking family, the Rockefellers, known for owing one of the world's largest fortunes. John Jr was the only son of John D. Rockefeller, the Standard Oil co-founder, and more significantly, he was the father of the five Rockefeller brothers, who include Nelson Rockefeller, the 41st Vice President of The United States and David Rockefeller, chairman and chief executive of Chase Manhattan Corporation. John Jr attended Park Avenue Baptist Church and the Browning School, and graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts from Brown University. After graduation, John Jr joined his father's business and quickly became a director of Standard Oil. Soon after, he also became a director at J. P. Morgan's US Steel company. John Jr was involved heavily in financing and developing the Rockefeller Centre during the Great Depression. As a result of the completion of this vast office complex project, John Jr became one of the largest real estate holders in New York City. This was followed shortly by John Jr receiving from his father 10% of the shares in the Equitable Trust Company, making him the bank's largest shareholder. John Jr was also well known for his philanthropy and his desire to use his vast wealth for the betterment of other people's lives and gave more than half a billion dollars to various educational, religious, scientific, and healthcare causes, both in the United States and internationally. John Jr died of pneumonia in 1960, leaving behind six children and twenty grandchildren and a vast legacy of financial development and philanthropic support.

“Mr. Fosdick has written a biography in its formal meaning — fully documented, chronologically precise — and not simply a personal tribute to a friend of more than forty years’ standing. The book, in consequence, is both biography and history, satisfying all the rigorous canons of personal and social analysis. It is to be read as part of the history of our time and as the record of a man of as much consequence to us as have been those other leaders and creators among his contemporaries who have affected public conduct. What we have here, then, is the narrative of a rich man who overcame the almost impossible handicaps of great wealth, limited religious upbringing, and a narrow and protective family circle. He might have become defensive and suspicious, or a recluse cultivating private and expensive hobbies, or a popular leader and therefore a demagogue (such patterns of the behavior of men of inherited fortunes are familiar throughout history), but instead he was able to grow and to assume great, national obligations. What might have been a puzzle slowly disappears under Mr. Fosdick’s skillful scholarship and his deep regard for his friend. The young Rockefeller (he is called throughout the book ‘JDR Jr.’), as early as 1910, when he was 36, severed his direct connections with business: did he do so because of a real or unconscious rejection of his father? Quite the contrary; father and son early forged strong bonds of mutual affection and respect, but while there never was hostility on the part of the son, neither was there subservience. JDR Jr. continued to support the philanthropies founded by the older man, the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, the General Education Board, and the Rockefeller Foundation, and to expand them; did he do this because he, like other men in public life — like Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Louis D. Brandeis — was inevitably swept up in the ‘reform movement’ of the day? That was only a part, and possibly a minor one, of his development. For as his tastes became surer and his vocation clearer, he ranged wider and wider until his interests were as large as those of his country and his world. As one goes over the catalogue of his benefactions and interests — none ever representing a perfunctory concern, most requiring long years of careful planning with a devotion to exact detail that only the truly outstanding seem to possess — one grasps the sweep and boldness of JDR Jr.’s mind. Williamsburg; the Cloisters; Rockefeller Center; the Museum of Modern Art; the restoration of the Athenian Agora; Rheims, Versailles, Fontainebleau; Negro education; the four International Houses; Jackson Hole and the Jersey Palisades; the Library of the League of Nations at Geneva, and the site of the U.N. at New York; the interdenominational movement; the long battle to achieve industrial understanding in two decades marked by bitter strife between management and labor: this is only a partial list. Mr. Fosdick seeks the key to the Rockefellers in some observations made by Frederick T. Gates, that restless and fascinating man who had such a great influence on the lives of both father and son. In 1905, Gates wrote to the father: ‘Two courses are open to you. One is that you and your children while living should make final disposition of this great fortune in the form of permanent corporate philanthropies for the good of mankind... or at the close of a few lives now in being it must simply pass into the unknown, like some other great fortunes, with unmeasured and perhaps sinister possibilities.’ In 1929, Gates was satisfied, for he put down in a private document these remarks concerning JDR Jr.: ‘I have known no man who entered life more absolutely dominated by his sense of duty, more diligent in the quest of the right path, more eager to follow it at any sacrifice.’” — Louis M. Hacker, The New York Times “The central theme of Raymond B. Fosdick’s book is its subject’s career as a philanthropist... This is not an impartial book and was not so intended. Mr. Fosdick is an admiring friend and associate of the man of whom he writes. But if the book is understandably friendly to John D. Rockefeller, Jr., it is also an honest book.” — John D. Hicks, The Saturday Review

What was the world's first billionaire really like? This highly entertaining work, by an acclaimed business biographer, seeks to explode the "shadowy myth" of John D. Rockefeller and reveal the "rare and astonishing personality" behind it. From his humble roots in Ohio, where he learned thrift and industry as the bookkeeper of a dockside warehouse, to the death threats this "modern Machiavelli" received during the early years of Standard Oil, to his ascendancy to the rank of "the most detested man in the country"-when churches refused his donations as tainted money-and his subsequent formation of the philanthropic Rockefeller Foundation, this is a knowingly ironic and subtly witty work of biography. JOHN K. WINKLER is also the author of W.R. Hearst: An American Phenomenon (1928) and Morgan the Magnificent, or The Life of J. Pierpont Morgan (1930).

Not illustrated. 1904 edition. Excerpt: ... stock of all the great banks and trust companies in New York. He had the National City Bank to begin with. There was $100,000,000 or more on deposit there. His plan was to make the City Bank, Bank No. i. Bank No. i was to buy control of the stock of Bank No. 2 with the money of the depositors of Bank No. i. Bank No. 2 was to buy the control of Bank No. 3 with the deposits of Bank No. 2. Bank No. 3 was to buy control of Bank No. 4, and so on in an endless chain till every big bank of New York was in his clutches. How far Rockefeller has succeeded in consolidating this bank trust is not known. It is known, however, that by this chain of banks he has an uncanny control over the money markets of the nation. His banking trust is, of course, illegal. But Rockefeller has the best legal talent in America to aid him to do illegal things with immunity. XLVII ROCKEFELLER'S RAILROAD TRUST BEFORE he had his banking trust complete Rockefeller conceived the project of a railroad trust that would own every railroad line on the continent. He had no difficulty in getting the Goulds into his scheme. He had outwitted Jay Gould and the second generation of the Goulds laid no claim to the father's ability. In fact, they are children in Rockefeller's hands. The Vanderbilts were only too glad to enter into an alliance with Rockefeller also. Most of them preferred a butterfly life at Newport or at Paris or at 'Monaco to a job operating the New York Central. There are people in the world who believe that the main end of life is to marry and be given in marriage; to shine at the opera; to be the glass of fashion at a dance; and an excellent host and diner-out. Such people easily surrender the management of great railroads or great industrial institutions to men...
