he was a serious man who studied the art of economics until his very last day.

Jamie Dimon remembers Welch:

" It wasn’t easy to work closely with Jack. He was the most demanding and relentlessly challenging person I ever met. We fought over what to include and what to omit. He sometimes grew frustrated with my reluctance to change a draft, one time reminding me that it was his book and he would damn well decide what he wanted in it.⠀
