The Death of the Banker: The Decline and Fall of the Great Financial Dynasties and the Triumph of the Small Investor by Ron ChernowMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Listened to this book and my mind was wavering in and out.
It was difficult to concentrate on this material. Perhaps not a great pick for
the current situation going on in the world right now. To be more fair to the
book I should revisit this at another time.
The part I particularly enjoyed was about Aby Warbug, who
was allowed funds to purchase any book he was interested in, as long as he kept
out of the family business. Well, he took that and ran with it purchasing
around 60,000 books and many rare items. Clearly he wasn't interested in the
family business of finance and banking.
