The New Crowd: The Changing of the Jewish Guard on Wall Street

A detailed social history of the rise of the Jewish entrepreneurs of Wall Street. The colourful characters who run these highly successful firms are described.

Since the end of World War II, the talented sons of the great wave of Jewish immigrants have managed to overcome class differences and barriers and gain power and control over the German Jews who founded and dominated some of the most prestigious firms on Wall Street. Sanford Weill, Felix Rohatyn, and Michael Milken are just a few of the major personalities whose careers are detailed in this readable book that provides a look at recent Wall Street history from a different perspective.
