Paris, 1883 to 2021. A trade built on the hands of individual makers — a milliner at 21 rue Cambon, a Basque tailor who cut his own patterns, a Normandy gallerist who opened a couture house at forty-one with a cotton magnate's money — becomes, within one lifetime, an asset class.

Bristol, Manchester, Molsheim, Stuttgart, Maranello and Ängelholm, 1806 to 2020. Six men put their own names on machines built at the edge of what their century could make, and each of them owned the drawing as well as the works.

Stockholm, Baku, Ludwigshafen and Paris, 1833 to 1940. Four European fortunes are built out of chemistry, and each of them turns on the same problem: an unstable substance that is worth enormous sums if it can be made to behave. Alfred Nobel tames nitroglycerin and leaves his money to a prize.

Smyrna, Zug, Necker Island, Helsinki and Rågsved, 1906 to 2018. Seven Europeans discover that the continent which made them is also the thing standing between them and the size they want, and each of them leaves it — by ship, by jurisdiction, by license, by listing.
