Very interesting... from the Independent, UK (link found on his website at http://www.geocities.com/sam07012): The Rothschild story: A golden era ends for a secretive dynasty "the ability of the family which has founded one of the world's largest private banking dynasties to sustain their secretive fortune, which industry insiders count not in billions but in trillions, and keep it within the family." http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-era-ends-for-a-secretive-dynasty-756388.html
