About this Event
Please join us for an exclusive talk on Tuesday, March 19th at 6pm with New York Times bestselling author Daniel Schulman about his new book, The Money Kings: The Epic Story of the Jewish Immigrants Who Transformed Wall Street and Shaped Modern America. Prior registration through Eventbrite is appreciated, but not required. You may still attend the event if Eventbrite tickets have sold out.
In The Money Kings, Schulman traces the interconnected origin stories of the German-Jewish tycoons who founded Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, Kuhn Loeb, and J & W Seligman & Co. From the rough-and-tumble rise of Wall Street to an unprecedented era of philanthropy that formed the bedrock of American-Jewish life, and from the epoch-shaping first world war to the emergence of modern antisemitism that foretold the second, Schulman unspools a sweeping narrative that resounds with present-day relevance.
DANIEL SCHULMAN is the New York Times best-selling author of Sons of Wichita, a biography of the Koch family that was a finalist for the Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award. The deputy Washington bureau chief of Mother Jones, he lives in Massachusetts, with his wife and sons.
