Picture a secret gathering on a remote island in 1910, where America's most powerful bankers traveled in disguise, using only first names to conceal their identities. This wasn't a conspiracy to rob the nation-it was an attempt to save it. For decades, America had suffered through devastating financial panics with alarming regularity, yet the country remained paralyzed by a deep-seated fear: creating a central bank. The ghost of Andrew Jackson, who had killed the Second Bank of the United States seventy years earlier, still haunted the halls of Congress. But by the early twentieth century, this ideological purity came at a staggering cost. America had become an economic giant hobbling on a primitive financial system, lurching from crisis to crisis with no safety net. The question wasn't whether reform would come, but whether it would arrive before the next catastrophe struck.
