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. 作者簡介：羅恩·徹諾，美國作家協會主席，美國國家圖書獎、普利策獎、美國曆史圖書獎獲獎者，擅長撰寫金融、商業和政治人物的傳記。《財富》雜誌稱其為“美國最好的傳記作家”。 譯者簡介：金立羣，現任中國國際金融公司董事長，曾任財務部副部長，中國投資公司監事長兼黨組副書記等；是迄 今為止中國第一個擔任亞行副行長的副部級高官；著有《新國際經濟體制與中國》《經濟發展：理論與實踐》，編著《英漢法漢財務金融詞典》。 媒體評論 《摩根財團》以最清晰的脈絡展現了金融帝國——J.P.摩根，從維多利亞時期倫敦最隱秘的開創歷史，到1987年金融危機的全部細節。 ——Forbes 羅恩·徹諾的《摩根財團》讓我們審視現代金融業所陷入的貪婪，也讓我們懷念起老皮爾龐特的時代，更讓我們看到了與現在似曾相識的一次次金融危機。 ——Entertainment Weekly 《摩根財團》作為金...(展開全部) 作者簡介：羅恩·徹諾，美國作家
