　　For anyone interested in the world behind the business-page

headlines, this is the book to read. --Publishers Weekly

With the same breadth of vision and narrative élan he brought to

his monumental biographies of the great financiers, Ron Chernow

examines the forces that made dynasties like the Morgans, the

Warburgs, and the Rothschilds the financial arbiters of the early

twentieth century and then rendered them virtually obsolete by the

century's end.

As he traces the shifting balance of power among investors,

borrowers, and bankers, Chernow evokes both the grand theater of

capital and the personal dramas of its most fascinating

protagonists. Here is Siegmund Warburg, who dropped a client in the

heat of a takeover deal because the man wore monogrammed shirt

cuffs, as well as the imperious J. P. Morgan, who, when faced with

a federal antitrust suit, admonished Theodore Roosevelt to "send

your man to my man and they can fix it up." And here are the men

who usurped their power, from the go-getters of the 1920s to the

masters of the universe of the 1980s. Glittering with perception

and anecdote, The Death of the Banker is at once a panorama of

twentieth-century finance and a guide to the new era of giant

mutual funds on Wall Street.

"Chernow . . . delivers a sound, accessible account of the forces

shaping capital, credit, currency, and securities markets on the

eve of a new millennium. "

　　Ron Chernow, the National Book Award-winning author of two

astoundingly comprehensive biographies of prominent American

financiers, now examines the ultimate decline of such power brokers

and the corresponding rise of international money in The Death

of the Banker. This surprisingly concise (but no less

illuminating) volume opens with an expanded version of a speech on

"the dwindling role of the financial intermediary" that he

presented early in 1997; it concludes with condensed versions of

his earlier books on J. P.

Morgan and the Warburgs that show how the

essence of financial power has changed in the 20th century.

媒体评论

　　Some fastidious fans will inevitably call it "Financial

History for Dummies" or "Chernow Lite." But I call it a delight--an

intimate chat with a writer so thoughtful and well informed about

his topic that one closes the book feeling far more worldly and

intelligent than when one opened it. --
