The House of Morgan: An American Banking Dynasty and the Rise of Modern Finance

Summary: Sticky money...
Review: When it first arrived on his doorstep, bundled in that ubiquitous Amazon cardboard, Sticky thought his new 5-piece bamboo steamer set had finally arrived... this book really is that big.

The House of Morgan chronicles in minute detail the meteoric rise and rise of the JP Morgan banking behemoth. But don't despair food fans, it's not all big swinging ... and heady stories of bold arbitrage plays. The narrative is punctuated more than occasionally by oddly beautiful recollections of J Pierpont's most memorable sticky rice meals.

Satisfying for both mind and stomach...
