The Money Kings by Daniel Schulman is a work of narrative history that examines how German Jewish immigrant families helped build the foundations of modern American finance. Centered on figures such as the Seligmans, Lehmans, Goldmans, Sachses, Loebs, and Schiffs, the book traces their rise from marginalized newcomers to highly influential bankers and financiers on Wall Street. Schulman presents this history not simply as a business chronicle, but as an account of immigration, identity, antisemitism, philanthropy, and power in the Gilded Age and early 20th century. The book shows how these families navigated exclusion from elite society while establishing institutions that would become central to American capitalism. It also places their financial success alongside their commitments to Jewish causes and broader civic reform. As a result, the book offers both a social history of Jewish assimilation and a financial history of the making of Wall Street.
