Those crazy Merchant Bankers - Part I
One of the most extraordinary books I've ever read is Professor Carol Quigley's extraordinary 1,300+ page tome Tragedy and Hope, first published in 1966. Professor Quigley is a Professor of history at the Foreign Service School of Georgetown University, and formerly taught at Princeton and Harvard. What was extraordinary about Professor Quigley is that he grew up as a boy in very privileged social circles, and was exposed, and later allowed academic access, into the deeper patterns of history of key members of the global money elite - again, the men around such interests as the Rothschilds, J.P. Morgan, the Rockefellers, the Warburgs, Kuhn, Loeb, and Company, etc.
As well, he had deep insight and access into the formation of such secretive maneuvers such as the setting up of Round Table institutions by associates of the British Imperialist and African diamond and gold magnate Cecil Rhodes. These men were extraordinary influential men in our time (i.e. the late 19th and 20 centuries), were backed significantly by British (and later global) financial interests mentioned above, and see their political expression in such bodies as the Royal Institute of Int'l Affairs in London, and the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission in the U.S.
If one wants to peer behind the secretive history and mechanics of the global money elite, Tragedy and Hope is without peer IMO.
I just remembered that I had typed up some 7 excerpts which explains how "these guys" manipulate the money supply for their own purposes - most specifically, how they did this from the early 1900's through until the end of WWII. It makes for fascinating reading.
I'm going to follow this post with some of these excerpts. I would love to hear any thoughts or comments.
