William D. Cohan

Financial journalist and former investment banker at Lazard, Merrill Lynch and JPMorgan Chase.

House of Cards reconstructs the ten days in which Bear Stearns lost its funding, hour by hour and from the people in the room, and remains the closest study of how a broker-dealer run actually proceeds. Money and Power and The Last Tycoons trace how Goldman Sachs and Lazard made money over decades, including the partnership economics and internal politics that decided who got paid.
