How Goldman Sachs Came to Rule the World
Goldman Sachs are the investment bank all other banks - and most businesses - want to emulate; the firm with the best talent, the best strategy.

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.
