Nos dias em que Colombo navegava os oceanos e Da Vinci pintava a Mona Lisa, o banqueiro alemão Jacob Fugger se tornava o homem mais rico da história.
Fugger viveu na Alemanha na virada do século XVI, neto de um camponês. Quando de sua morte, sua fortuna chegava perto de 2% do PIB Europeu. Em uma era onde reis tinham poder ilimitado, Fugger ousou encarar os chefes de Estado e cobrar-lhes suas dívidas—com juros. Foi com essa frieza, autoconfiança e ambição sem limites que se tornou não apenas o homem mais rico até então, mas também um marco na história. Antes da aparição de Fugger era ilegal, segundo as leis da igreja, a cobrança de juros sobre empréstimos, mas ele conseguiu que o Papa alterasse isso. Fugger também ajudou a desencadear a Reforma Protestante e, provavelmente, financiou a circunavegação do globo de Fernão de Magalhães. Sua criação de um serviço de notícias proporcionou-lhe uma vantagem em informações sobre seus rivais e clientes e deu a Fugger um verbete na história do jornalismo. Ele fez com que a família Habsburgo, da Áustria, passasse de soberanos de segunda linha a governantes do primeiro império onde o sol nunca se punha.
"Seu epitáfio (...) declara imodestamente que ele era o maior em vida e, portanto, após sua morte, não deveria ser listado entre os mortais. Como Fugger atingiu esta estatura especial é o tema da agradável e ambiciosa biografia de Greg Steinmetz." The Wall Street Journal
"Fugger lutou contra intelectuais e revoltas armadas com suborno, mercenários e – outra inovação – advogados versados no direito canônico. O nome Fugger (...), fora da Alemanha, permanece relativamente desconhecido. Greg Steinmetz busca corrigir isso." The Washington Post
"Se estivesse vivo hoje, ele teria impressionado o mundo da Wall Street e da City, e no entanto sua notável história ainda é pouco conhecida. A descrição das aspirações, frieza e ganância de Fugger é emocionante." The Economist
"Uma divertida introdução a um dos empresários mais influentes da história " The New York Times Book Review
