Financier of the Empire State Building, Raskob was a self-made businessman who worked for DuPont and for GM and famously invented the idea for consumer credit, which he first offered to individual car buyers (GMAC). His wide circle of business associates and personal acquaintances included Water Chrysler, the DuPonts, Alfred Sloane, Franklin Roosevelt, Joseph Kennedy, Western miners, and the Pope. 606 $aCapitalists and financiers$vBiography 606 $aFinance$vBiography 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aCapitalists and financiers 615 0$aFinance 676 $a338.092 676 $aB 700 $aFarber$b David$f1956-$01275329 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779570303321 996 $aEverybody ought to be rich$93757805 997 $aUNINA
