The House of Morgan is truly one of the best written and most interesting histories I’ve read. The strong secondary subject matter is the economic, political and diplomatic history of the United States (circa 1870 to the late 1980s), which actually takes primary stage for much of the book. Chernow had full access to an historical treasure trove of Morgan documents relating to their dealings with U.S. Presidents, nefarious dictators, various and sundry “robber barons,†the Federal Reserve bank, the Bank of England, Continental and Asian state banks, a wide spectrum of politicians from Japan, China, Europe, Mexico and South America — let alone the United States, Charles Lindberg, and a slew of other unusual personages. At its core, it’s a history of high finance, but Chernow’s mastery weaves what could be dry subject matter into the “movement and tension of an epic novel,†to quote the NY Times.
I must admire Chernow's resolve to research his subjects so thoroughly. This was my second go-around after Titan. These books have tremendous value as insight into the times and thoughts of the world's first Corporate Titans. However, both books, but this one in particular is tremendously difficult to read. I find myself labouring through each chapter, midway through and not enjoying the experience. I look back and have learned a great deal, but it was an incredible pain to get there.
This wasn’t my favorite of Ron Chernow’s books but it is well researched. There was more detail than I really wanted to know. I loved the other three books I read that he wrote—Hamilton, Washington, and Grant—I highly recommend those. If you want to know all about banking and JP Morgan then this book is worth reading.
a long book and a very interesting and helpful one from the aspect of understanding how world politics and events were shaped by the financial side - especially the influence of one dominant family - and a dominant person within that family.As all Chernow books, well researched and reasoned. My favorite of his: Titan - the John D. Rockefeller biography. Clearly he has a financial penchant.The book stops in the late 80's - so you can only wish for an updated view of the merger with Chase Bank and the role of the bank in the Great Recession and its current compliance problems. Ron, how about an update??
The book is fascinating and has aged well (written ±30 years ago!). The parts that cover the 19th century through about world war II are fascinating and unmissable. The latter parts towards the end of the book, seem to be written out of necessity because the book had to cover the whole history of the bank. I believe a later more experience Chernow would have had the wisdom to stop earlier and make a more compact book.As it stands, the good parts are great, for their context about how massively powerful Morgan was, and the beautiful historical anecdotes included.
The House of Morgan is an stand-out history of modern finance, told as the story of one of America's great banking families. It tells the story of the shift of the epicenter of global finance from London to New York City and should serve as a reminder to we Americans that that epicenter is not fixed and can shift again.Morgan was a powerful man. During the 1907 Panic he put NYC's bankers in a room and forced them to save the city and its banking system. A decade later it would be the federal reserve, not any banker, with that power. Even during the Great Depression, partners at J.P. Morgan made a million dollars a year. J.P. Morgan himself was shockingly cash poor (much of his wealth was in art) compared to his fellow robber barons, but those robber barons relied on him for capital, the lifeblood of all businesses. The dominance of J.P. Morgan was only broken by Glass-Steagal (this was by no means certain: FDR liked the big banks because of their internationalist bent and his fear of the power conservative small bank presidents had in small town politics).As someone who worked in banking during a youth mispent, I loved the window Chernow provides into the banking of yesteryear. J.P. Morgan was a conservative place to work, even for a banking house. In the halcyon days of the three-martini lunch, J.P. Morgan partners abstained at lunch. It was considered a career-limiting move to remove your suit jacket before entering the restroom.The House of Morgan is the first book I would suggest to anyone interest in the history of American finance and one of a few I would suggest for economic history.As in all of his books, Chernow shows off an impressive vocabulary. He uses the words correctly and fruitfully, but you may benefit from keeping a dictionary handy.
