How Libri GmbH How Did The Rothschilds Conquer The World Paperback

They are not kings, they have no army, but by 1850, their name was already inscribed in the accounts of almost every government in Europe. No excesses, total discretion, and yet without them, no war, no railways, and no post-war reconstruction. The Rothschilds understood one thing: whoever holds the debt holds the future. So they lent money to kings, empires, states-everyone-without taking sides. That's how a family that rose from a Frankfurt ghetto infiltrated the corridors of power and built an invisible empire that shaped the modern world. It all began in 1744 in Frankfurt, Germany. That's where Mayer Amschel Rothschild was born. His father ran a modest money changer and pawnshop there. And here's a fun fact to impress your friends: the name Rothschild means "red shield" in German.
