GLEESON, Janet MILLIONAIRE. The Philanderer, Gambler and Duelist Who Invented Modern Finance.
New York Simon & Schuster 1999 0684872951 / 9780684872957 First Edition Hardcover Fine Fine
303pp. On the death of Louis XIV in 1715, few people benefitted from the shift in power more than the financial genius from Edinburgh, John Law. Already notorious for killing a man in a duel and for acquiring a huge fortune from gambling, Law had proposed to the English monarch that a bank be established to issue paper money. Queen Anne, however, was not about to take advice from a gambler and a felon. So, in exile in Paris, he convinced the bankrupt court of Louis XV of the value of his idea and became involved in a great boom-and-bust cycle where fortunes were made and lost. Bibliography and Index.
