William D. Cohan's Money and Power: How Goldman Sachs Came to Rule
the World is a chronicle of the most successful, iconic bank on
Wall Street, from the firm's founding in 1869 to the present day.
Goldman Sachs are the investment bank all other banks - and most
businesses - want to emulate; the firm with the best talent, the
best clients, the best strategy. But is their success just down to
the gilded magic of the 'Goldman way'? William D. Cohan has gained
unprecedented access to Goldman's inner circle - both on and off
the record. In an astonishing story of clashing egos, backstabbing,
sex scandals, private investigators, court cases and government
cabals, he reveals what really lies beneath their gold-plated
image. 'The best analysis yet of Goldman's increasingly tangled web
of conflicts' Economist 'Startling ... lifts the lid on Goldman's
pivotal role in the meltdown' Mail on Sunday 'Cohan portrays a firm
that has grown so large and hungry that it's no longer long-term
greedy but short-term vicious. And that's the wonder - and horror -
of Goldman Sachs' Businessweek 'Cohan's book tells of bitter power
struggles and business cock-ups' Guardian 'A definitive account of
the most profitable and influential investment bank of the modern
era' The New York Times Book Review William D. Cohan was an
award-winning investigative journalist before embarking on a
seventeen-year career as an investment banker on Wall Street. His
first book, The Last Tycoons, about Lazard, won the 2007 Financial
Times/Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award and was a New
York Times bestseller. His second book, House of Cards, also a
bestseller, is an account of the last days of Bear Stearns &
Co.
