Description

The behind the scenes story of the power struggle that rocked Wall Street's most prestigious financial institution. In March 2005 the business world woke up to an unprecedented full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal calling for the removal of Morgan Stanley's CEO. It was paid for by a cohort of eight former Morgan Stanley executives, including an ex-chairman and an ex-president, who soon would be dubbed the “Eight Grumpy Old Men.” Their target was CEO Philip Purcell, who had come to power following Morgan Stanley's 1997 merger with Dean Witter Discover. In his eight years as CEO, Purcell had presided over a 50 percent decline in stock price since its peak in 2000 and a series of high-profile government and civil lawsuits that had tarnished the company's once-sterling reputation. Just a few months after the Journal ad, Purcell would retire under pressure, and former president John Mack, who had been pushed out by Purcell, was appointed CEO. The “Eight Grumpy Old Men” won the battle. Opening the long-closed doors of a bastion of Wall Street that has maintained the strictest privacy until now, Blue Blood and Mutiny is real-life business thriller exposing the tale that shook high finance. Weaving the history of Morgan Stanley with the inside story of the fight for dominance between two competing business cultures—one, the collegial meritocracy handed down from the days of J. P. Morgan, and the other, a cold, contemporary corporate model, acclaimed journalist and historian Patricia Beard has written a must-read book for anyone who wants to understand the future of American business.
