The House of Dimon - How JPMorgan's Jamie Dimin Rose to the Top of the Financial World - Patricia Crisafulli

[John Hjorth]

Some time ago I intercepted an exchange between Mike [ @boilermaker75 ] and @Xerxes about a book about J. P. Morgan here on CoBF. On the way to my visit at my digital bookstore, and on the way out, I snatched this book up under my nails, too, out of pure personal curiosity, to get to know more about the person who runs the largest US bank of them all, JPMorgan Chase, a bank in which I have been shareholder now since 2017.

 

I'm about half way through the book by now, and I can already by now say I like it very much, I'm by now reading about the phase in Dimons worklife vhere Janie Dimon was about turning Bank One, Chicago, around.

 

The book confirms the impression of the man and his opus moderandi, as how I personally till now have percieved it by reading now quite a lot of JPM shareholders from his hand and pen, reading other stuff and listening to interviews of him.

 

What I did not know before starting reading the book, the book also contains a lively description of the history of the creation and development of Citigroup, while Jamie Dimon grew up in business as the close wingman of Sandy Weill for a bit more than two decades.
