À propos de cet audio

Winner of the National Book Award and now considered a classic, The House of Morgan is the most ambitious history ever written about an American banking dynasty. Acclaimed by the Wall Street Journal as "brilliantly researched and written", the book tells the rich, panoramic story of four generations of Morgans and the powerful, secretive firms they spawned. It is the definitive account of the rise of the modern financial world. A gripping history of banking and the booms and busts that shaped the world on both sides of the Atlantic, The House of Morgan traces the trajectory of the J. P.Morgan empire from its obscure beginnings in Victorian London to the crash of 1987. Ron Chernow paints a fascinating portrait of the private saga of the Morgans and the rarefied world of the American and British elite in which they moved. Based on extensive interviews and access to the family and business archives, The House of Morgan is an investigative masterpiece, a compelling account of a remarkable institution and the men who ran it, and an essential book for understanding the money and power behind the major historical events of the last 150 years.

I really enjoyed it! I definitely was far more engaged in the first 75% of the book much more than the back 25%. No disrespect to the author, I genuinely think there just wasn't as much to say about the period from ~1950 onwards.

Even if you don't finish (which I don't blame you for, it's super long), I'd say it's still worth it to read the first half- three quarters

incredibly detailed, great read!

Understand the history of Wall Street through anecdotes about the wealthiest, most powerful men who honestly thought they were not in control and had hurt feelings about how the public misunderstood them and their yacht building di** measuring contests.

I listened all the way to the end so I get to make a review.

Interesting historical facts. But very dry; struggled to finish it. Not sure it’s the writing style or the narration.

Dry!
