A brief overview of the author and his role in the Resource Finance Corporation, the subject of this book, from Wikipedia: Jesse Holman Jones (April 5, 1874 - June 1, 1956) was an American Democratic politician and entrepreneur from Houston, Texas. Jones most important role was in the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC) (1932-1939), a federal agency originally created in the Hoover administration which played a major role in combating the Great Depression and financing industrial expansion during World War II. After Hoover first appointed Jones to the board, President Franklin D. Roosevelt expanded the powers of the RFC and promoted Jones to the chairmanship in 1933. Jones was in charge of spending US$50 billion, especially in financing railways and building munitions factories. He served as the United States secretary of commerce from 1940 to 1945, a post he held concurrently with his chairmanship of the RFC.
