The House of Morgan (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781025453613)

"The House of Morgan" is a comprehensive and critical examination of one of the most powerful financial dynasties in American history. Written by Lewis Corey, this work traces the rise of the Morgan family from its commercial origins to its position as the dominant force in American finance and industry during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

The book delves into the mechanisms of investment banking and the strategic consolidations that shaped the United States economy. Through a detailed analysis of J.P. Morgan's operations, Corey explores the intersection of private capital and public policy, illustrating how a single banking house exerted immense control over railroads, steel production, and the national credit. This study goes beyond a simple biography, offering a social and economic genealogy that contextualizes the Morgan empire within the broader development of industrial capitalism.

Scholars and readers interested in economic history, the Gilded Age, and the evolution of Wall Street will find "The House of Morgan" an essential resource. It provides a profound look at the concentration of wealth and power that defined an era of unprecedented industrial growth and financial influence, making it a foundational text for understanding the roots of modern American finance.
