Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Together with 'House of Rothschild: Money's Prophets, 1798-1848', Niall Ferguson has produced a two volume history that reveals in absorbing detail the phenomenal economic success of this fascinating and secretive family. Ever since the house of Rothschild first rose to pre-eminence in the turbulent era of the Napoleonic wars, mythology has surrounded the family and its firms. They have been charged with financing revolutions and counter-revolutions and have been seen as the final arbiters ofwar and peace in Europe. Niall Ferguson is the first scholar with unrestricted access to the surviving Rothschild archives.
