Read it:

Frankfurt, London, Paris, Vienna and Naples, 1798 to 1868. Five brothers out of one house in the Frankfurt Judengasse are left a business, a will and a rule: the firm belongs to the sons, the daughters are paid out, and no outsider may open the books. What they build on that is not a bank with branches but five partnerships bound by a renewable contract, a shared capital account and a private mail service carrying letters in Hebrew characters. The contract is redrawn at each death and each quarrel. The marriages are arranged inward, cousin to cousin, to keep the capital from leaving. It runs from the first deed to the death of the last brother, and asks what held the arrangement together and what it cost. Covers Mayer Amschel Rothschild, Amschel Mayer Rothschild, Salomon Rothschild, Nathan Rothschild, Carl Rothschild, James Rothschild, and Rothschild.
