The Financial Panic of 1907 is often cited as a justification for the passage of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. The Money Changers is Upton Sinclair's fictionalized account of the affair, and in the novel a character based on J.P. Morgan is lauded for rescuing everyone from a crisis that he created.
