ALAN GREENSPAN
|
Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System. He was the protégé of former chairman of the Board of Governors,
Arthur Burns of Austria (Bernstein). Burns was a monetarist representing the
Rothschild’s Viennese School of Economics, which manifested its influence in
England through the Royal Colonial Society, a front for Rothschilds and
other English bankers who stashed their profits from the world drug trade in
the Hong Kong Shanghai Bank. Greenspan was director of major Wall Street
firms such as J.P. Morgan Co., Morgan Guaranty Trust (the American bank for
the Soviets after the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917), Brookings Institution,
Bowery Savings Bank, the Dreyfus Fund, General Foods, and Time, Inc.
Greenspan’s most impressive achievement was as chairman of the National
Commission on Social Security from 1981-1983. He juggled figures to convince
the public that Social Security was bankrupt, when in fact it had an
enormous surplus. These figures were then used to fasten onto American
workers a huge increase in Social Security withholding tax, which invoked
David Ricardo’s economic dictum of the iron law of wages, that workers could
only be paid a subsistence wage, and any funds beyond that must be extorted
from them forcibly by tax increases. As a partner of J.P. Morgan Co. since
1977, Greenspan represented the unbroken line of control of the Federal
Reserve System by the firms represented at the secret meeting on Jekyll
Island in 1910, where Henry P. Davison, right hand man of J.P. Morgan, was a
key figure in the drafting of the Federal Reserve Act.

Frankfurt for Manchester to set up a textile business. By 1809 he had moved

Within the space of a few years,
concentrating on the issuing of bonds, Nathan had established an
unassailable position in the British financial markets, building a business
that continues in his name today. |
|
Alphonse de Rothschild
|
Alphonse took over de Rothschild Frères following the death
of his father, James, in 1868. He had been educated to take his place at the
head of the family's business in France, spending time in the other
Rothschild banking houses in Europe. This training paid off handsomely and
Alphonse followed his father in becoming a formidable force in French
finance. |

Lord Montagu Norman
|
Lord Montagu Norman is the
only man in history who had both his maternal grandfather and his paternal
grandfather serve as Governors of the Bank of England. His father was with
Brown, Shipley Company, the London Branch of Brown Brothers (now Brown
Brothers Harriman). Montagu Norman (1871-1950) came to New York to work for
Brown Brothers in 1894, where he was befriended by the Delano family, and by
James Markoe, of Brown Brothers. He returned to England, and in 1907 was
named to the Court of the Bank of England. In 1912, he had a nervous
breakdown, and went to Switzerland to be treated by Jung, as was fashionable
among the powerful group which he represented.
Lord Montagu Norman was Governor of the Bank of England from
1916 to 1944. During this period, he participated in the central bank
conferences which set up the Crash of 1929 and a worldwide depression.

The
Rothschild Founders
|
Nathan's
increasingly successful business as a banker in London provided a model for
his brothers back in Frankfurt. In 1812, James, the youngest, established a
banking house in Paris. Salomon left next, in 1820, to settle in Vienna,
where the family were already active in Imperial finance. Finally, with the
strengthening of Austrian Imperial interests in Italy, Carl set up business
in Naples, leaving Amschel, the eldest of the five sons of Mayer Amschel, to
head the Frankfurt bank which was continuing to grow in influence.
