Storia vera di Jacob Fugger, banchiere, milionario, precursore del capitalismo, compratore di indulgenze, finanziatore di re e di papi «Un racconto affascinante e utile per riconoscere i pericoli del capitalismo sfrenato, in particolare nelle economie dominate da governi autocratici.» The New York Times Fugger fu il primo plutocrate moderno. Come i suoi contemporanei Machiavelli e Cesare Borgia conosceva il mondo per comera, non per come voleva che fosse. E fece tutto ciò che poteva per plasmarlo come più gli piaceva. Questa è la storia avvincente di come, rendendosi indispensabile per i clienti e spietato con i nemici, Fugger ci abbia lasciato in dote il copione per tutti coloro che aspirino a cambiare la Storia (e il proprio destino) attraverso il denaro. «È risaputo che senza di me Sua Maestà non avrebbe mai acquisito la corona imperiale.» Solo un folle o un uomo profondamente conscio della sua posizione rivolgerebbe queste parole alluomo più potente del mondo. Eppure era così che il banchiere tedesco Jacob Fugger poteva scrivere allimperatore Carlo V sollecitandolo nella restituzione dei denari necessari alla sua elezione. In tempi in cui in pochi riuscivano a sopravvivere ai propri colpi di fortuna, Jacob Fugger incarnò un uomo di potere fuori dai palazzi reali ed ecclesiastici, un pioniere della politica, un capitalista prima dellavvento del Capitalismo, il Rockefeller del Rinascimento tedesco. GREG STEINMETZ è nato a Cleveland e per oltre quindici anni ha fatto il giornalista, collaborando con le più importanti testate americane. Oggi vive a New York, dove si occupa di analisi rischi per un fondo dinvestimento.
