Description
The House of Morgan: A Rich and Panoramic Story of American Finance Published to critical acclaim twenty years ago, this book is a masterful history of the Morgan banking dynasty and their impact on modern finance. The story spans four generations of the Morgan family and their powerful firms, tracing the evolution of J. P. Morgan's empire from its humble beginnings in Victorian London to the financial crisis of 1987. Acclaimed author Ron Chernow paints a fascinating portrait of the family's private saga and the rarefied world of the American and British elite in which they moved. This book is a compelling account of a remarkable institution and the men who ran it, offering a unique insight into the money and power behind major historical events of the last 150 years.
