 America's Last Emperor of Finance
J.P. Morgan was no self-made man. Both sides of his family were well-established, with roots that extended back to colonial America, and the Morgans were already rich by the mid-1800s.
The post-Civil War years saw a surge of investment in America, notably in railroads--which, Strouse observes, ''consumed money on an altogether colossal new scale.'' For the rest of the century, the Morgan interests would not only organize funding for the railroads but also try repeatedly to discipline an industry plagued by suicidal rate wars.
Never again would a private individual play such a supervisory role in America's economy: In the year of Morgan's death, Congress unwittingly paid him tribute by establishing the Federal Reserve system, a body that would henceforth assume the role of the U.S. economy's visible and guiding hand.

 Art in America: The Emperor Vanishes - analyzing the 'From Caligula to Constantine: Tyranny and Transformation in Roman ...
Amid the portraits of haughty aristocrats entering upon traditional magistracies and nouveaux riches freedmen parading their hard-won success, the imperial portraits, as urgent political instruments, stood out in their unrivaled authority and in their dominance of the urban milieu's most prestigious loci of display.
Evidently the conversion of these reliefs was interrupted by Nerva's death, and the panels were returned to storage where they would remain until their rediscovery early in the 20th century.
As recent research has ascertained, a surprising proportion of the surviving portraits of the successors--immediate or occasionally at longer remove--of these three are remade from portraits of the disgraced rulers themselves, and such cases are prominently featured in the exhibition.

 "America's Last Emperor" by Tony Leather
This statement was signed Norton I, Emperor of the United States, and Protector of Mexico.
The emperor called for funding for research into "aerial machines," called for the establishment of a "League of Nations," and proposed the building of a suspension bridge across the bay -- at a time when such structures were unknown outside of Africa.
The Golden Gate bridge was built fifty years later, just as he'd suggested it, and carries a testimonial plaque to his "prophetic vision." He may have worn boots that had slits in the sides, to accommodate his corns, and he may have been an eccentric of the first order, but one thing is certain.

And that means "preemptive" nuclear strikes if Emperor George decides that America faces a clear and present moral threat.
