Diane Klare, head of reference at Olin Library, spoke to Grossman about banking history. Klare worked more than 16 years as a financial analyst in the banking industry. “My interest in banking and the topic of Richard Grossman’s book comes from several levels,” she said. “I’ve always loved history and how it seems that it often repeats itself, and as a financial analyst (for Barclays, which became Shawmut, Fleet and later Bank of America), I did primarily financial forecasting, budgeting, and evaluation of mergers.”
