David Rockefeller is the third generation of the famous dynasty that epitomized American capitalism. In the book, written at the age of 87, he tells about his life's journey: the years of study, which gave him a fundamental humanitarian and economic education, military service in the army during World War II, the activities in the "family" bank "Chase" - one of the foundations of the financial power of the Rockefellers.
The book also covers his "parallel career" - participation in well-known philanthropic institutions, founded on Rockefeller donations and played an important role in the public life of the United States. These are the Rockefeller Foundation, Rockefeller University, the Museum of Modern Art, and the General Board of Education. For many years D. Rockefeller was one of the key figures in the creation and work of international non-governmental organizations that left a significant mark in world politics: the Bilderberg Club, the Dartmouth Conferences, the Trilateral Commission. D. Rockefeller had many meetings with prominent politicians of different countries. Among them - Khrushchev, Kosygin, Castro, Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping, the last Shah of Iran, A. Sadat and others. His account of these meetings and of his constant contacts with U.S. government officials is of undoubted interest. The author's judgments about banking business and problems of economic development cannot fail to attract attention.
