Why you should read Investment Banking
This history recounts the development of investment banking from its 17th-century origins to the present. Along the way, professors Alan D. Morrison and William J. Wilhelm Jr. offer readers an introduction to institutional theory and hazard a guess at the future evolution of what is essentially an information business. This is not a how-to, nor is it a survey of the present competitive landscape, but getAbstract believes that readers interested in a concise presentation of the historical, economic and institutional forces that shaped the investment banking industry will find this book fits the bill. The authors have organized their presentation remarkably well, a noteworthy achievement given the breadth of philosophical, legal, financial and commercial information on which they draw.
