High Financier – Niall Ferguson

High Financier – Niall Ferguson 

High Financier is Niall Ferguson’s definitive biography of Siegmund Warburg, one of the most influential financiers of the twentieth century. Drawing on more than ten thousand previously unseen letters and diary entries, Ferguson traces Warburg’s journey from a refugee fleeing Nazi Germany to a transformative force in the postwar City of London.

Warburg’s disciplined, principled approach to banking—shaped by the loss of his family’s long-established institution—led him to build S. G. Warburg into a pioneering firm that reshaped European finance. This richly detailed narrative offers a rare look at leadership, innovation, and integrity in global banking.
