The House of Rothschild: Money's Prophets 1798-1848: 1

The research that went into this book is tremendous. He has full access tot he family and all their treasures and history.I really enjoyed reading this family history as it is portrayed by Niall.Niall has written many books on wonderful topics. And I would recommending looking at some of his other writings, especially the book Civilisation.A must read for anyone now looking to study the dynasty.

I found this book absolutely fascinating although it really is for people very interested in financial history. It's not a light read.There were a lot of lessons but as I read the quotes from the bankers two centuries ago I thought nothing has changed. My favourite bit is when they are selling governments bonds from European peripheral countries and deriding their customers for being stupid enough to buy them! The quotes could have been taken from an investment bankers email last year.Even the public criticism of the bankers for their bonuses and huge wealth are exactly the same as today (although minus the anti-Semitism).

Well researched and a more balanced view of the family. Strong emphasis on religion and family as the motivations behind the founding members of the House. A useful insight for anyone looking to how international financial markets started and classic example of the first mover advantage.

this was a very inspirational piece of literature. Very well written and filled with many practical examples.Will highly recommend it.

I'd expected something more of an overview, but this book goes into considerable detail. A bit too academic for what I wanted, but clearly a lot of research went into compiling this.

Perfect quality! Fast delivery! I recommend the Seller and the book.

Well researched, well written. Well done

really interesting. happy

Ferguson has done the world a great service by examing the history and personalities of the Rothschild family and the financial empire. Both volumes of this work should be read. You'll soon see the bankers have as much influence and power over world events as politicians.

Bought for my wife who is fascinated by the Family. She is ploughing through it ......

Gostei muito, a história da família Rothschild é bem detalhado nos mínimos detalhes

super value

Good
