My Take
Marcus Goldman is a reminder that some of the most enduring institutions begin with an immigrant and very little else. Arriving from Trappstadt and building, from scratch, what would become Goldman Sachs is staggering when you sit with it. What I admire most is the durability of his work: a firm founded in the nineteenth century still ranks among the world's largest investment banks more than a century after his death in 1904. Whatever one thinks of modern finance, founding an empire with nothing but instinct and grit earns my respect. His is the rare name that still moves global markets.
