BOSTON, MA - APRIL 16: Reports and maps from various Lehman Brothers businesses, including a Transcontinental and Western Air Inc. annual report from 1938, are pictured at Harvard Business Schools Baker Library | Bloomberg Center in Boston on April 16, 2019. Before it was a titan in the investment banking field, before it engaged in a form of financial sleight of hand that doomed the housing market, before it initiated the largest bankruptcy filing in US history - and threatened to bring the global economy down with it - Lehman Brothers was a general store. The fabled firms history, from its humble beginnings as a family-run business in Alabama during the mid-19th century to its spectacular collapse on Wall Street in 2008, is on display in an exhibit now showing at Harvard Business Schools Baker Library | Bloomberg Center.
