The Money Kings: Jewish Immigrants and Financial Dynasties
Author Daniel Schulman and UC Riverside’s Michael Alexander explore the captivating narrative of German-Jewish immigrants who transformed modern finance and the stock market in America. Arriving with little, they rose from peddling trinkets to founding global giants like Goldman Sachs, Kuhn Loeb, and Lehman Brothers. Their clashes and collaborations with industrial magnates like J.P. Morgan shaped America’s financial destiny, capitalizing industries, and underwriting giants such as General Motors and Macy’s.
