Reviews - Nazi Billionaires: The Dark History of Germany's Wealthiest Dynasties

I think this is a good Segway into why capitalism breeds right wing ideology, however, I was completely thrown off by the end set in the Tel Aviv museum. It was supposed to be a happy ending but …. uh ya there’s a lack of awareness there.

Excellent tracing of a 100 year dark history. The long shadow of history is seen as the grandkids of these nazi billionaires are still some of the richest people in Europe. Shocking at how easily most of the perpetrators got off nearly-scot free

A very interesting exposé of how industrial tycoons put a horrible hateful dictator in power, profited from it and were hardly punished. A story how they remain some of the most rich and influential families that are around to this day.

Sadly if you replace industrial tycoons by tech tycoons it is clearly as relevant today as it was in 20th century Germany. Although not a very entertaining topic or book, I'd recommend it to anyone who is concerned with global developments.
