When Money Was in Fashion: Henry Goldman, Goldman Sachs, and the Founding of Wall Street by June Breton FisherMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Definitely an interesting book, and I'm glad I picked it up. Written by Henry Goldman's granddaughter, it talks of the family history in immigrating to the United States, as well as the beginning of Goldman Sachs, and its progression and growth with Henry at the helm, to is downturn and public sale.
This is what you would expect from a family memoir, made up pretty much exclusively of family recollections. It would have been nice to have a historian co-write another edition, maybe filling in the gaps and rectifying any mistakes or other issues.
But all in all an enlightening and pleasant read.
