Melio\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe son of a steelworker from Pennsylvania tells the inside story, warts and all, of his career as a successful investment banker at two of the biggest, best-known, and most controversial firms in the world-Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase-during a historic and turbulent period in US history. Mark Melio's personal anecdotes and observations illustrate the self-absorbed culture, hypocrisy, and rapacious practices of Wall Street's leading banks, how he bought into the fiction that \"the customer always comes first,\" and how investment banks morphed from once-proud partnerships into predators in constant search of new ways to scalp clients. This is a rare glimpse by a thoughtful observer behind the scenes of an institution that built America's \"new\" economy and then nearly destroyed it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom 1987 until 1996, Mark T.
