THE BARONS : WE HARDLY KNOW

J.D.Rockefeller said ‘The only problem with wealth is what to do with it?’ We hardly know these barons because Forbes did not list them. These merchants and bankers enjoyed enormous freedom without regulations hence the legacy of a corrupted financial system which went to an extent of financing wars for a share of booty and treasures or large masses of mining land.The world we lived until 20th century was local and linear and it was the car barons who took us to travel far destinations and changed the rule of inheritance. The darker side is how a new category emerged wealthy from the ashes of the holocaust and WW2 known as “Third Reich Billionaires” which changes our most sought-after cars to the least sought-after ones.. Sub-surface treasures of our earth opened a huge fortune for a few especially in America and Europe with subsidiary businesses like railroads and infrastructure. Most of them hated competitors and went on acquiring or destroying them to secure monopoly. They were known as ‘Rogue Barons’.They left the legacy of a corrupted system in which we live today!
