J.P. Morgan & Co. and the Crisis of Capitalism Summary

J.P. Morgan & Co. and the Crisis of Capitalism: From the Wall Street Crash to World War II by Martin Horn (McMaster University, Ontario)

During the interwar period, J.P. Morgan was the most important bank in the world and at the crossroads of US politics, international relations and finance. In J.P. Morgan & Co. and the Crisis of Capitalism, Martin Horn brings us the first in-depth history of how J.P. Morgan responded to the greatest crisis in the history of financial capitalism, shedding new light on the Great Depression, the New Deal, and the coming of World War II. Horn shows how J.P. Morgan & Co as a business responded to the 1929 Crash and the Depression, including its part in the New York Stock Exchange Crash, arguing that the Morgan partners misread the seriousness of the crash. He also offers new insights into the interactions of politics and finance, exploring J.P. Morgan's relationship with the Hoover administration and the bank's clash with Roosevelt over New Deal legislation.

J.P. Morgan & Co. and the Crisis of Capitalism Reviews

'Drawing on a comprehensive command of the archival record, this fine study places J. P. Morgan & Co. from partnership to incorporation firmly within the history of capitalism. All scholars of modern American and business history will benefit from this authoritative account of a pivotal firm's history.' Jason Scott Smith, author of A Concise History of the New Deal
'Numerous histories of the House of Morgan cover the years before 1914 when it was the pre-eminent American bank. Examining how the bank evolved to survive the Great Depression and federal regulation, Martin Horn's important new study is most welcome.' Eugene White, author of Conflict of Interest in the Financial Services Industry
'A detailed look at the complicated history of one the world's most influential financial institutions Recommended.' R. S. Hewett, Choice
