Panic of 1907 discussed by Rockefeller in World's Work
John D. Rockefeller argues in the April World's Work that the 1907 panic will yield safer institutions and more conservative management. He recalls how the panic of 1893 failed to hurt him, details his ore and ship investments, and credits strategic capital and adherence to natural business laws for eventual recovery. The piece weaves in local notes on illness, visits, church services, and a planned school meeting in Peshastin.
