Influential Families of England: How the Cohens, Rothschilds, Goldsmids, Montefiores, Samuels, and Sassoons Made Their Fortunes
19.99 €
British writer and journalist Chaim Bermant traces the history of the legendary Jewish families who migrated from the Continent to England in the late 18th century. For two centuries, they shaped financial policy and influenced events throughout the vast British Empire, and indeed the rest of the world.
With a deft hand, Bermant portrays the characters of these enterprising businessmen who not only amassed enormous fortunes but also made a significant contribution to the prosperity of their new homeland and the development of public liberties in Great Britain and beyond.
The stories told in this book about the Rothschilds, Goldsmids, Montefiores, Cohens, and other related Jewish families fully reveal how their immense wealth, foresight, and unity—all seasoned with a healthy pinch of curious and reckless behavior—allowed them to achieve influential positions in the state.
