Richest Man Who Ever Lived: The Life and Times of Jacob Fugger (Greg Steinmetz).The story of a man with a fortune rivaling nearly two percent of European GDP.
Not only did Jacob want to make money, he pursued new ways to make money - and had to sway the minds of very influential people to do so. Germany, 16th century, popes, royalty, the 1%, Reformation, usury laws, Magellan, Habsburgs, news, family, mining. You know you want to find out more!
Looking forward to seeing you. In June and July we will be reading The Burgundians: A Vanished Empire (Bart Van Loo)
