First published in 1981, The Money Lenders reveals the power, the workings and the personalities of the money men who have made the world go round:

The Superbankers – including Chase Manhattan's David Rockefeller, Citibank's Walter Wriston, Lloyds' Sir Jeremy Morse and Robert McNamara.

The debt-ridden regimes of Poland and Iran, Brazil and Zaire, Singapore and Pakistan.

The wizards of Grand Cayman – the sunny tax haven who had more registered corporations than inhabitants.

The Medicis, the Rothschilds, the Barings, the Barclays whose banks transformed the economic map of the world.
