Features: The story of Wall Street's partnership investment banks is forever imbued with a touch of magic, while also radiating authentic American style. They represent prosperity, vitality, success, and failure. Throughout American history, they have created countless legends, and for over 150 years, their names were synonymous with Wall Street. Long before sports stars and pop musicians dominated the news, they were the true social elite of the nation. This book presents a comprehensive history of the financial dynasty on Wall Street, the first detailed study of these American financial legends. Whether you are interested in American history and the stories behind the big headlines in business magazines, or curious about how America's financial tycoons struck it rich, this book is a must-read.
