Though capitalism can envoke selfishness and a "me, me, me" attitude, it has shown that it is one of the most efficient business models around.Regencyresearcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10828749339318882968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839525549786745818.post-37194685019119987992014-09-16T21:55:46.085+01:002014-09-16T21:55:46.085+01:00I do love Trollope's work, it feels like just ...I do love Trollope's work, it feels like just stepping into his world.

He stood stiff and with his eyes closed until the moment someone put a question to him. This never took long, and then he took his post again assuming the still posture, which he certainly knew was different from the ordinary and the jewish businessmen.<br /><br />At the moment I am reading more of his financial world in a wonderful novel of Anthony Trollope, "The way we live now". USA Railways, venture money (and implied land theft on the largest imaginable scale), the meaning of toasts (by whom), interconnections, prestige etc etc.<br /><br /><br /><br />Nathan's sons, a troika, took over the business.<br />kneistonienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839525549786745818.post-61839744552784566482013-09-16T15:55:41.798+01:002013-09-16T15:55:41.798+01:00Ah, interesting you should say that and thank you ...Ah, interesting you should say that and thank you for doing so! I did deliberate over whether to include Rothschild for the very reasons you state but, as a fairly colossal figure in Georgian London, in the end I decided to let him have his moment.Catherine Curzonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763562687608837832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839525549786745818.post-45205933271500923272013-09-16T15:54:52.175+01:002013-09-16T15:54:52.175+01:00*Bobs a grateful curtsey**Bobs a grateful curtsey*Catherine Curzonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763562687608837832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839525549786745818.post-14775584025440666992013-09-16T15:20:48.648+01:002013-09-16T15:20:48.648+01:00I'm a bit uneasy with this post.
