Book Description

Jonathan A. Knee had a ringside seat during the go-go, boom-and-bust decade and into the 21st century, at the two most prestigious investment banks on Wall Street--Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. In this candid and irreverent insider's account of an industry in free fall, Knee captures an exhilarating era of fabulous deal-making in a free-wheeling Internet economy--and the catastrophe that followed when the bubble burst. Populated with power players, back stabbers, celebrity bankers, and godzillionaires, here is a vivid account of the dramatic upheaval that took place in investment banking. Indeed, Knee entered an industry that was typified by the motto "first-class business in a first-class way" and saw it transformed in a decade to a free-for-all typified by the acronym IBG, YBG ("I'll be gone, you'll be gone"). Increasingly mercenary bankers signed off on weak deals, knowing they would leave them in the rear-view mirror. Once, investment bankers prospered largely on their success in serving the client, preserving the firm, and protecting the public interest. Now, in the "financial supermarket" era, bankers felt not only that each day might be their last, but that their worth was tied exclusively to how much revenue they generated for the firm on that day--regardless of the source. Today, most young executives feel no loyalty to their firms, and among their clients, Knee finds an unprecedented but understandable level of cynicism and distrust of investment banks. Brimming with insight into what investment bankers actually do, and told with biting humor and unflinching honesty, The Accidental Investment Banker offers a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes of the most powerful companies on Wall Street.

Insightful Depiction of Investment Banking.......2007-10-07

Jonathan Knee has penned an insightful and detailed memoir of his investment banking career at Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, both leading Wall Street houses.

The Accidental Investment Banker is helpful in that Knee has rendered the considerable service of describing what investment bankers actually do on a daily basis. Knee also offers a lucid analysis of the economic forces that transformed an industry that prided itself on its long-term advisory relationships into an industry that frequently competes directly against its clients. The rise of transactional investment banking, and the unhappy outcomes that it is capable of creating, is the central theme of Knee's book. Altogether, Knee's memoir is more thoughtful and detailed than Liar's Poker and similar memoirs.

Criticisms: Knee's publisher has left many copy-editing errors in the final manuscript. This volume deserves better. For Knee's part, his narrative tends to extol the virtues of the top MBA institutions and the "white shoe" investment banks, while disparaging MBA education in general and the absurdities and excesses of investment banking in particular. A more generous and accurate view-- and I am surprised that "The Accidental Investment Banker" does not endorse it-- is that talented people and successful businesses are found in many venues, and that pedigree is no guarantee of success.

good book - wildly misleading cover blurb.......2007-09-22

The cover of this is so misleading that you wonder what the publisher was thinking. This book does not do for IB what Liar's Poker did for fixed income trading (no slobbish bond salesmen throw telephones around here - though on a couple of occasions people make inappropriate comments at parties and iritate clients, and towards the end, during the internet bubble, they decide to dress down on Fridays, then, when the bubble bursts, they stop doing it again). What it delivers is a critical assessment of the state of the IB business, framed in terms of the author's own experience and observations of life at Goldman and Morgan, together with an apologia pro vita sua.

Both are pretty good and pretty useful. If you work in any branch of professional services, then there is a lot of interesting stuff here (pitch books are, alas, not unique to IB) and it is also readable. Knee's prose is a bit, um, prosaic, he is not Michael Lewis, but it goes by easily - there is a bit of New-Yorker-itis (people are introduced as 'slim, handsome and elegant', even 'elfin' a couple of times - does no-one read Leonard's rules for writers?), but nothing on the scale of Barbarians at the Gate, which, it if it were not so unreadably, incompetently badly written, would be the Liar's Poker of IB. And there are some definite gems, such as the description of the Goldman IBS team as resembling 'a German olympic swimming team' (which is even better than 'the Chets') which must have made some people wince.

In fact there is one possible reference to BatG here, where Knee describes the final negotiations in the sale of West, where he and his team successfully engineered that the 'right' bidder won an open auction, albeit at an extra cost of 50-100m (exhibit A in the 'apolgia'), to be compared and contrasted with the climax of BatG, where Felix Rohatyn efficiently extracted an extra 230 million dollars from KKR. Rohatyn would point out, in his defence, that there were no 'right' bidders for RJR, there were just different packs of predatory carnivores, and RJR was a public company, etc. True, but the parallel is still striking.

Neither Goldman nor Morgan come out of the book looking very good, but Goldman definitely comes out far ahead of Morgan.

What else? Knee crashed into the middle ranks, and moved up fast, so he does not say a lot about the endless diet of midnight pizza and the regular crashing under your desk in your suit which also go with the job, at least in my - very occasional - experience. There are also some interesting notes about Hank Paulson, which must have been written just before he left GS to be Treasury Secretary - Knee is, shall we say, not so impressed.

In conclusion: Definitely worth reading, but not for the jokes, or the madcap anecdotes - there aren't any. Knee comes across convincingly as an honorable, intelligent and likeable man and he delivers a lot of useful information and analysis. Finally, I can also reassure him that his somewhat self-conscious author's pic at the back is enough to guarantee that no-one will ever describe him as 'elfin'.

Great I-Banking Read.......2007-09-17

Though-provoking and pleasurable read that will be greatly appreciated by anyone who has/is working in the realm of high finance or wants to know more about it. A must read for any young, up-and-coming banker. While most i-banking books have their share of good vignettes and war stories, what separates this book apart is the thought-provoking analysis of internal politics with crucial underlying dictums.

Positives:
-Great description of the how the latest boom-and-bust period and other factors have (negatively) affected i-banking.
-Candid opinions and vignettes of people currently or recently active on the Street.
-Edifying/applicable i-banking politics analysis.
-Laugh-out-loud war stories.

Negatives:
-Knee's own importance is likely overstated in some parts, but cut him a break, he's an investment banker!
-Knee's joy in waxing poetic about the 'old days' of investment banking is undeniably in part a pitch for his newer role at Evercore, but again, you have to cut the author a little slack here.
-Some controversial political analyses - I don't have inside information to argue whether Knee's view is the 'true' view or not. At a minimum he is willing to put forth views on matters where, in this day and age, the vast majority of writers are too chicken to attempt.

The book ties together (1) Knee's career path, (2) Knee's most entertaining war stories, (3) Analyses of the rise-and-fall of several key figures on the Street and (4) Knee's main story: the changing roll of investment banks and the reasons for this change. While some have argued that certain parts are off topic, I would say that these stories and analyses are crucial to understanding the time and Knee's reasons for taking his particular view of i-banking. Moreover, we are all wiser and further entertained for its inclusion.

There's one point on which I take issue with Knee. He asserts that his primary reason for staying in investment banking is to influence decision making at the top ranks of corporations; however, if this is one's primary interest, I believe that this goal is better served by a career in private equity. I think this is a view that Knee, whether or not he agrees with it, should have addressed. That said, my zeal for this point is largely driven by my own career decisions, so I'd probably have a hard time claiming to be entirely without bias myself!

Learning: The fun way.......2007-09-04

This book is what banking professors want to recommend as Summer Reading for their students. This story educates people about all the processes and industry terms that are only available through experience or from a drab textbook.
You will learn about the author's education, how he got into banking, and how he has ended up where he ended up. Along the way, you will probably be startled to learn how much he and other top bankers make in a year. The new industry terms are fairly well defined so that people foreign to the industry are not left baffled.
The vocabulary is not too challenging. I would think that this book would be more entertaining than educational for an industry professional.
While not a world-mover, this book was terribly interesting and definitely educational. Although, that might just be my opinion.

On the Money.......2007-08-15

As far as I'm concerned, Jonathan Knee's book is the best of the "life on Wall St" books out there. It isn't the most shocking (Monkey Business), nor about the biggest deal (Barbarians). But it tells the true story of his climb up the ladder (and the trends shaping the industry) with engaging, self-deprecating humor. I worked at DLJ during the "monkey business" years and never encountered any of the unethical frat boy moments recounted in Troob's book (guess I wasn't invited to the cool parties; ha).
The Accidental Investment Banker doesn't dwell on the gutter moments of banking, nor does it glorify the industry. If you're considering a career in banking or just want to understand how the Street works (and laugh along the way), I highly recommend this book.

Book Description

In a world of supercomputers, genetic engineering, and fiber optics, technological creativity is ever more the key to economic success. But why are some nations more creative than others, and why do some highly innovative societies--such as ancient China, or Britain in the industrial revolution--pass into stagnation? Beginning with a fascinating, concise history of technological progress, Mokyr sets the background for his analysis by tracing the major inventions and innovations that have transformed society since ancient Greece and Rome. What emerges from this survey is often surprising: the classical world, for instance, was largely barren of new technology, the relatively backward society of medieval Europe bristled with inventions, and the period between the Reformation and the Industrial Revolution was one of slow and unspectacular progress in technology, despite the tumultuous developments associated with the Voyages of Discovery and the Scientific Revolution. What were the causes of technological creativity? Mokyr distinguishes between the relationship of inventors and their physical environment--which determined their willingness to challenge nature--and the social environment, which determined the openness to new ideas. He discusses a long list of such factors, showing how they interact to help or hinder a nation's creativity, and then illustrates them by a number of detailed comparative studies, examining the differences between Europe and China, between classical antiquity and medieval Europe, and between Britain and the rest of Europe during the industrial revolution. He examines such aspects as the role of the state (the Chinese gave up a millennium-wide lead in shipping to the Europeans, for example, when an Emperor banned large ocean-going vessels), the impact of science, as well as religion, politics, and even nutrition. He questions the importance of such commonly-cited factors as the spill-over benefits of war, the abundance of natural resources, life expectancy, and labor costs. Today, an ever greater number of industrial economies are competing in the global market, locked in a struggle that revolves around technological ingenuity. The Lever of Riches, with its keen analysis derived from a sweeping survey of creativity throughout history, offers telling insights into the question of how Western economies can maintain, and developing nations can unlock, their creative potential.

The Economics of Progress.......2006-03-30

This is an important book about the historical process that not so long ago was unashamedly called "progress." Mokyr is professor of economics at Northwestern and author of The Economics of the Industrial Revolution. The present work undertakes a systematic cross-cultural, longitudinal study of the causes and conditions of economic growth. A central contention is that contemporary microeconomics lacks the conceptual equipment to elucidate the increment to economic growth supplied by technological change. This is a startling claim: can a science founded in industrialising Scotland to explain the causes of the wealth of nations fail to explicate what everyone knows is the mainspring of economic growth? Mokyr aligns with economists who believe that this is so. They call their heterodoxy "Schumpeterian economics." In the Theory of Economic Development (1912), Joseph Schumpeter emphasized that innovation is the fundamental impulse of capitalist production. Innovation is all-sided. Production, product, resource procurement, efficiency, and marketing are all drawn into the kinetic performance. The key to this dynamism was the relentless, aggressive drive of entrepreneurs. His contemporary heirs replace the entrepreneur by the inventor as the chief wealth-producing agent. While this assessment of the critical role of technology may seem obvious to the layman, it's scandalous in microeconomics.

Readers are alerted to heterodoxy on the first page when Mokyr signals that his findings are at odds with "one of the most pervasive half-truths that economists teach their students, . . . that there is no such thing as a free lunch." We are apprised that it is the specific achievement of technology to deliver banquets for millions. It does so thanks to transactions between creative minds and nature that result in tapping natural powers and harnessing them to productive output. The wheel, the sail, the water mill, the wind mill (a wheel-sail), and the steam engine exemplify ways by which ingenuity coaxes nature into delivering disposable power at a precise point. These transactions occur outside the domain of market exchange, although they may and often do intersect with exchange. But it is not obvious to orthodox economics, whose doctrine is that technological innovation can be calculated as a response to market demand or else as a production cost. Mokyr answers that technological input is supply-led in the double sense that technology creates products and services unimagined by consumers, and that technology creates the incomes that make a demand for technology possible.

Mokyr's strategy for supplementing economics with a theory of technological innovation is to accept the half-truth that growth can be understood within economics of commercial expansion, size and scale effects, and investment. This will capture "microinnovation," that is, efficiency improvements and other changes that are made more or less spontaneously in the course of production. But then he passes on to macroinnovationm, which "involves an attack . . . on a constraint that everyone else takes as given" (9). Macroinnovators are mavericks who would change the givens. Market reward doesn't come easy. The strategy is to focus micro- and macroinnovation simultaneously in selected time-slices, and to examine their cross-fertilisation as well as the intersections between macroinnovation and the market.

The study is divided into historical narrative and systematics. The narrative covers classical antiquity, the middle ages, and the development of technology in western Europe from 1500 to 1914. The systematics is assisted by three comparative studies, of classical antiquity and medieval Europe, of China and Europe, and of Britain and Europe. Each study develops a theme meant to elucidate why macroinnovations occur and the circumstances that influence their uptake into production. They illustrate of the book's centrepiece, an analytical chapter entitled "Understanding Technological Progress." The second part of the author's systematics attempts to forge links between the dynamics of technological change and the Darwinian analysis of evolutionary change. This is a very ambitious undertaking, not easily understandable without specialist knowledge of evolutionary thought.

Here are some of Mokyr's results:

* Opposition to technological innovation is culturally pandemic. Often it's income- and market-related. Labour combinations and tariffs, over many centuries, document attempts to protect inefficient productive methods. There's also a syndrome of technology aversion. Islam and China after 1400 A.D. exhibit this syndrome after having passed through a long period of technology development. These cultures became progressively more risk-averse and xenophobic to the point of stigmatizing the imitation of foreign innovations. His description of the closure of these cultures helps understand the values and institutional prescriptions that arrest innovation; but what occasioned this turn-about? Mokyr believes that it expressed conservatism or risk-aversion at the power centers of society, that is, anxiety about loss of social control.

* Status values and the structure of preferences in a culture may assign low status to commerce or technology or both. This well-known diagnosis of Greek and Roman antiquity is confirmed by the author's investigations. He reminds us that this preference structure was nuanced. The Greeks discovered the science of mechanics and developed metallurgy and machine construction to a high pitch. But in the Greco-Roman world machines of war and building construction were the only areas in which sustained applications were made.

* Governments do not figure in Mokyr's study as significant promoters of technological innovation. The positive role of the mandarins prior to the onset of risk-aversion is emphasised, as is the strong affirmation of technology development in revolutionary and Bonapartist France. But these are exceptions; the author is more impressed by the tendency of governments to discourage innovation. The optimum recipe was the circumstance of early modern Europe, where a diversity of competing states and domestic institutions removed the option of risk-aversion taken in China and Islam. This diagnosis is confirmed by those cases where monarchs successfully imposed risk-aversion-Spain and Hapsburg went into economic decline. Since the author's history stops at 1914, we are left wondering whether the strong involvement of governments in R & D since 1945 marks a fundamental enhancement of the institutional capacity to promote technological innovation. The Soviet Union developed its technology entirely under government auspices, with mixed success. Perhaps Mokyr will explore this experience in a subsequent publication.

* The influence of ambient attitudes is discussed episodically throughout the study. The prevailing thought is that technological development is fostered best by an environment open to new ideas and new practices, which is not risk-averse and not intolerant, and which accords dignity to inventors and inventions. Religions are reckoned to be endogenous variables expressing a society's preference structure; Mokyr observes wryly that "every society . . . gets the religion it deserves" (171). The social rigidity of the Hindu religion strongly discouraged innovation, whereas the Judeo-Christian affirmation of man's dominion over nature provided support for technological intervention. Lynn White's fine studies of the Benedictine order are cited to substantiate this claim. The Protestant ethic is not mentioned as a relevant consideration.

Coming now to innovation and invention themselves, Mokyr treats them as aggregates and seeks to discern their properties. He stipulates that growth through invention and innovation is "any change in the application of information to the production process in such a way as to increase efficiency, resulting either in the production of a given output with fewer resources (i.e., lower costs) or the production of better or new products" (6). An invention is an increment in the set of total knowledge of a society, which is in turn the union of sets of individual technical knowledge. Since an invention that isn't utilized is without economic effect, the on-going synchronization of invention and innovation are critical to sustaining economic growth. The absence of this synchronisation is the reason why few societies have been technologically creative.

Space doesn't permit a discussion of Mokyr's extended analogy between organic evolution and the cultural evolution of technology. Let it be said that he endorses the punctuated equilibrium model of evolution because it incorporates macroevolution. As for the underlying psychology that microeconomics never elucidates, Mokyr's thinking is convergence with my own elucidation of "polytechnic rationality" which I developed in The Politics of Progress: The Origins and Development of the Commercial Republic.

Great Information -- And Read the Reviews Too.......2004-12-28

This is a scholarly and fact-focused treatment of a subject that has often been treated in a way that is meant to support a particular author's theoretical framework. The subject is complicated, and the book does a good job of dealing with the facts. As is so often the case, the most valuable part of the book is the commentary it elicits, so if you're going to go to the effort of reading the book, take the extra ten minutes to read whatever commentaries/reviews it gets, too. Just the ones on Amazon are pretty helpful for putting it in context.

Understanding the history of wealth.......2004-11-07

Understanding topics of human achievement often means understanding their history. Such is the case when we investigate the creation of unprecedented wealth during the last centuries of our existence. The result is as we see it, but it could have been very different. An indeed, many examples of similar initial conditions exist, which did not translate into an industrial revolution, and hence a "lever of riches".

And so, this is a book of history. Indeed, the creation of wealth is more than the economic decision to put so many people with so many tools at work, in order to produce so much output. After history went its course, it turns out that some people can produce many, many times over what other people can do during a similar period of time.

The question is why, and that answer is easy: technology. Having, and being able to use it, technology is the difference between eking out a living at the margin of subsistence, or breaking through age-old Malthusian constraints. The hard question is why some people do, and others do not, have the use of this technology.

The history part shows in a very clear way, and into some modest detail, how many societies of the past at some point stagnated, while a few, including medieval Europe did not. But apart from learning history, we also learn to think *about* history. What influence have factors like, say, climate? Or religion? Can we learn something by borrowing models from evolutionary theory?

Apart from theoretical considerations, there is also a good deal of more practical history. How does Roman Europe compare with medieval Europe? Why did Europe see progress at an age and a stage where China did not, or at least much less? And why did England take off in a way that turned the rest of Europe into a bunch of followers?

The picture that emerges is one where a multitude of necessary conditions have to combine into a long story of increasing capability and efficiency. Only if and when those conditions are met, societies make the kind of progress that allows them to follow the road to improving material life. And though the book thereby confirms this road is not necessarily an easy one for those who didn't find it yet, it also yields some thoughts about how to hand over our own lever of riches to those who still need it so much.

As I would reserve 5 stars for those truly outstanding books you should read as a masterpiece of art, even if you couldn't care less about the topic, I will quote this book four stars. Highly recommended if you're interested in this subject.

Good overview of technological progress.......2004-04-23

It is a good book and surprisingly maligned by a couple of the other reviewers.

h0td0gsh0p complains that Mokyr does not understand physics. However, the passage he quotes is entirely correct. The verge-and-foliot escapement mechanism was invented precisely because a falling object exerted a variable force on clock mechanisms due to differences in temperature, humidity, etc, which made earlier clocks highly imprecise.

The reader from Bath complains that Mokry says that waterwheels were invented in Medival Europe. However, what Mokry actually says is that, "The waterwheel may NOT have been invented in Medieval Europe, but it was there that its use spread far beyond anything seen in earlier times." He points out that in 1086, the Domesday Book lists roughly 1 waterwheel for every 50 households! The Romans were capable of producing fairly advanced overshot waterwheels (as the one near Arles France), but there are very few examples (about 3 places?) that are known.

Overall, I found the book very well researched.

Rather dry and dull........2003-05-29

I found this book made a fascinating subject really boring. I had a tough time finnishing it.

In all fairness, I learned quite a few interesting things. One of them being that the Greek civilization was not so great after all. This civilization developed great intellect, but no technological innovators. Their technology relied on harnessing the energy of their slaves period. They had no incentive to innovate, that would have caused an idle and restless underclass prone to civil unrest.

I am sure there must be another much more interesting book about the same subject.

Certainly, this is a necessary text to have on hand for anyone involved in PHS-funded animal research. The fact that it is being offered for sale on Amazon confuses me, however, as copies can be obtained free of charge from the Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare (OLAW).
