Money Kings: The Epic Story of the Jewish Immigrants Who Transformed Wall Street and Shaped Modern America
29.99 €
America is a country of immigrants. The history of the country, with all its achievements and failures, was written by people who came there from all over the world, and their descendants. As the author of the book aptly notes: “…some of the world’s greatest financial institutions, the companies that came to dominate Wall Street and contributed to industrial transformation in America, were born from rickety wooden carts and pot-bellied canvas backpacks.” This work traces in detail the history of Jewish immigrants who achieved great success in the financial field. They started out as traveling peddlers and traders, and eventually some were able to create their own empires dictating US financial policy, while others simply became very wealthy people. The history of the emergence, development and prosperity of famous American firms reflects the financial evolution of the country. And the story of the philanthropic activities of bankers, aimed mainly at supporting the arts, sheds light on the cultural development of America. The author of the book is himself a descendant of immigrants, and his deep immersion in the subject makes the narrative lively and sincere.
