Biographical History
Baruch, a financier and public adviser, was a millionaire by the age of thirty thanks to his investments in the stock market. He put his wealth to use in politics and public affairs and became an adviser to Woodrow Wilson, who appointed him chairman of the War Industries Board and a member of the president's war council. After World War I, he took part in the postwar peace conference and later became an adviser to President Roosevelt on defense matters and industrial preparedness for war. After World War II, President Truman appointed him ambassador to the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission.
Bernard M. Baruch was an American financier and statesman. Born in South Carolina, he was raised and educated in New York City, but was careful to maintain his association with the south. Baruch made a fortune as a maverick investor, and backed Woodrow Wilson's successful run for President. Baruch was named to the War Industries Board, where his canny business practices earned him a national reputation as Wilson's industry czar. He continued to be active in politics and finance, becoming one of Franklin Roosevelt's key World War II advisors and public spokesmen. As his influence subsided, Baruch was disenchanted with economic policies, and in the 1950s he predicted such events as an overwhelming national debt and the emergence of economic powers in areas of lower standards of living, such as Japan and Germany.
