Description

Episode Summary 

In the late 1700s, Mayer Amschel Rothschild was a coin dealer in Frankfurt's Jewish ghetto. He sent his five sons to five European capitals, where they built a banking network that financed nations. 250 years later, Rothschild institutions still operate globally. The secret wasn't the money—it was the system.
