The New York Stock Exchange in the Crisis of 1914
by Henry George Stebbins Noble
About the author
Born in New York City on March 9, 1859, Henry George Stebbins Noble was an American financier and stockbroker who went on to become president of the New York Stock Exchange. He served in that role from 1914 to 1919, a period marked by extraordinary strain on global markets.
Noble is especially remembered for leading the Exchange during the financial shock that followed the outbreak of World War I, including its historic closure in 1914. That experience also shaped his writing: The New York Stock Exchange in the Crisis of 1914 stands out because it comes from someone who was directly involved in the events he described.
He died on February 6, 1946. For listeners interested in finance, markets, or the human side of economic upheaval, Noble offers the perspective of an insider who witnessed a defining moment in American financial history.
