摘要

WHEN WE THINK of Gilded Age bankers, we tend to think of top-hatted men with impeccable WASP names such as John Pierpont Morgan, James Stillman and George Peabody. And, to be sure, many of them were exactly that. But there is one conspicuous exception: Amadeo Peter Giannini (18704949), the founder of Bank of America. The son of Italian immigrants, Giannini grew up on a 40-acre truck farm outside of San Francisco. His stepfather went to work for a wholesale produce firm and soon showed great talent as a commission broker. After he established his own firm, his stepson left school and went to work for him. He, too, quickly displayed a marked talent for the business. Sensing a rising market in pears, the young Giannini, when he was only 17, bought all the pears for future delivery that he could find and cleared $50,000 in profits when he turned out to be right.
