Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book concerns the financial activities and fortunes of a wealthy, entrepreneurial family hailing from Hamburg, Germany, in the latter years of the 18th century. The author traces the family's roots, beginning with the patriarch who founded the business, through his sons who expanded the operation and guided it through social and political upheaval, to his grandsons who ultimately led the firm to significant financial losses. Beyond its meticulously researched historical account, this book offers a broader contemplation of the ways in which business and banking have influenced the spread of capitalism throughout Europe and particularly in the global context. The author considers the opportunities and risks inherent in international trade, banking, and diplomacy, using this family's operations as a case study. The book thus uses the lens of one family's financial history to illuminate a significant period of economic development and change that extended far beyond the borders of Germany. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
