Jacob Schiff and the Art of Risk

Jacob Henry Schiff (1847-1920), a German-born American Jewish banker, facilitated critical loans for Japan in the early twentieth century. This book's analysis differs from the consensus that Schiff funded Japan largely out of enmity towards Russia but rather sought to work with Japan for over thirty years.

Jacob Henry Schiff (1847-1920), un bancher evreu american de origine germana, a facilitat imprumuturi critice pentru Japonia la inceputul secolului al XX-lea. Analiza acestei carti difera de consensul conform caruia Schiff a finantat Japonia in mare parte din dusmania fata de Rusia, ci mai degraba a cautat sa lucreze cu Japonia timp de peste treizeci de ani.
