JPMorgan shareholders will vote on separating chairman and CEO

IN 2009, when wounds gouged by the Global Financial Crisis were still raw, Wall Street was widely regarded as a cesspool of greed, deception, excess and ineptitude. Yet, that same year, Wiley and Simon & Schuster each published a book that lionises Jamie Dimon, the head of banking giant JPMorgan Chase.

The books came out within six months of each other – The House of Dimon: How JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon Rose to the Top of the Financial World was released in April, while Last Man Standing: The Ascent of Jamie Dimon and JPMorgan Chase hit the shelves in October.
