Money and Power by William D. Cohan offers an in-depth look at Goldman Sachs, the prestigious and often controversial investment bank that has set the standard on Wall Street since its inception in 1869. Known for its elite clientele, strategic prowess, and cultural mystique, Goldman Sachs has risen to the pinnacle of the financial world—but not without facing scandals, rivalries, and intense scrutiny.
Through rare access to key figures and an unflinching narrative, Cohan unveils the internal power struggles, high-stakes decisions, and ethical conflicts that have shaped the firm’s legacy. His account highlights Goldman’s influence on global finance, its role in the 2008 financial crisis, and the reputation it holds as both revered and feared.
For anyone intrigued by the intersection of power, wealth, and influence, Money and Power is a captivating exploration of the bank that has shaped modern finance, with critical reviews calling it “the best analysis yet of Goldman’s increasingly tangled web of conflicts” (Economist), and a “startling” look at its role in financial upheavals (Mail on Sunday).
