The incredible saga of the German-Jewish immigrants—with now familiar names like Goldman and Sachs, Kuhn and Loeb, Warburg and Schiff, Lehman and Seligman—who profoundly influenced the rise of modern finance (and so much more), from the New York Times best-selling author of Sons of Wichita
Joseph Seligman arrived in the United States in 1837, with the equivalent of $100 sewn into the lining of his pants. Then came the Lehman brothers, who would open a general store in Montgomery, Alabama. Not far behind were Solomon Loeb and Marcus Goldman, among the “Forty-Eighters” fleeing a Germany that had relegated Jews to an underclass.
These industrious immigrants would soon go from peddling trinkets and buying up shopkeepers’ IOUs to forming what would become some of the largest investment banks in the world—Goldman Sachs, Kuhn Loeb, Lehman Brothers, J. & W. Seligman & Co. They would clash and collaborate with J. P. Morgan, E. H. Harriman, Jay Gould, and other famed tycoons of the era. And their firms would help to transform the United States from a debtor nation into a financial superpower, capitalizing American industry and underwriting some of the twentieth century’s quintessential companies, like General Motors, Macy’s, and Sears. Along the way, they would shape the destiny not just of American finance but of the millions of Eastern European Jews who spilled off steamships in New York Harbor in the early 1900s, including Daniel Schulman’s paternal grandparents.
In Money Kings, Schulman unspools a sweeping narrative that traces the interconnected origin stories of these financial dynasties. He chronicles their paths to Wall Street dominance, as they navigated the deeply antisemitic upper class of the Gilded Age, and the complexities of the Civil War, World War I, and the Zionist movement that tested both their burgeoning empires and their identities as Americans, Germans, and Jews.

The shaping of modern America is not something I would want to take credit for but then again, my people didn’t coin the term ‘chutzpah’.

@entonbray
Did your people coin the term “doublewide”?
November 17th, 2023
No, I’m not American. Also, unlike you, I prefer to punch up, rather than down.

My download stuck at 99.9%. Has anybody been able to download entire book ?
November 17th, 2023
It’s stuck at 99% because the ‘uploader’ MojoYugen has just copied a file from Mobilism changed one tag on the file, and then posted it here as if it’s his own. But he didn’t bother to even seed the book. Someone else has noticed his failing and substituted in the original file from Mobilism. It reads as 99.8%, but you have the whole file minus the tiny header change Mojo made so he could look like a big man.
Just take the file and use it, and hopefully Mojo will fück off and learn how to use torrents before passing off his next ‘upload’.

@entonbray
You call antisemitism “punching up”?
November 19th, 2023
@tenbenson Uh, “The Money Kings”. Do investment bankers sound powerless to you? Taking shots at the most powerful ethnic group in America? Yes, I call that punching up.
Your excuse for punching down at mobile home owners? Just hate them because they’re poor or is it because they’re white?

Anyone still have 100% of this one?
Thank you for any help

How do you listen to the book that is 99.8 %, just changing the extension did not work for me.
