Following many requests from my readers, my second book originally published in Spanish, “The Banking Revolutions,” is now on sale in English. As everything else on my books (the researching, writing, editing, layout, cover, printing and publishing), the translation has been done by me with the utmost care. Because I think handcrafted things are better and I didn’t want to miss a single word.
Provided English is not my native language I will thank assistance of my readers to identify any issue on printing, style and translation of the book. You can get in contact with me via the contact form. Thank you!
EBOOK
The first part of the book is a story about the origins of investment banking
, starting with families in Frankfurt. The Rothschilds and the Warburgs started a diaspora in the European financial capitals, opening the way for other family firms such as the Lazard de Frauenberg in Austria, the Speyer in Frankfurt, the Goldman and the Sachs in Trappstadt, the Sterns in Frankfurt, the Seligman in Baiersdorf, the Lehman of Rimpar, the Strauss of Ottenberg, the Oppenheim of Friedberg or the Guggenheim of Langanau, Switzerland.
These Central European Jewish families displaced the center of world finances from Frankfurt to New York. Some years after their arrival they ended up being overshadowed by Anglo-Saxon Protestant firms with banking groups such as John Pierpont Morgan and John D. Rockefeller, the two greatest monopolists in history.
The second part of the book is a story of the first half of t
he twentieth century (1900-1950) on a banking basis, detailing the participation of merchant bankers in the four events that marked our time: the First World War, the Second World War, the Naziism and the Russian Revolution.
It is a fascinating story of our time, which has rarely been told. It follows the trail and greatly updates and develops the works of Anthony Sutton, Carroll Quigley and Eustace Mullins, and it brings new and surprising historical research. It is also a reference book on the history of banking in 550 pages: It has a great number of illustrations, a glossary, detailed genealogical studies, important historical documents and diagrams on mergers and acquisitions of investment banking during the 20th century.
