Morgan and Co., he w as th e driving force behind the wave of industrial consolidation in th e Unite d States spanning the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Over the course of his career on Wall Street, J.P. Morgan spearheaded t h e formation of several prominent multinational corporations including U .S . Steel, International Harvester and General Electric which subsequent l y fell under his supervision. He and his partners also held controllin g i nterests in numerous other American businesses including Aetna, Weste rn U nion, Pullman Car Company and 21 railroads. Due to the extent of hi s domi nance over U.S. finance, Morgan exercised enormous influence ove r the nat ion's policies and the market forces underlying its economy. Du ring the P anic of 1907, he organized a coalition of financiers that save d the Ameri can monetary system from collapse.
