7:30 pm: Daniel Schulman

This book tells the incredible saga of the German Jewish immigrants - with now familiar names like Goldman and Sachs, Kuhn and Loeb, Warburg and Schiff, Lehman and Seligman - who profoundly influenced the rise of modern finance. Schulman unspools a sweeping narrative that traces the interconnected origin stories of these financial dynasties. He chronicles their paths to Wall Street dominance, as they navigated the deeply antisemitic upper class of the Gilded Age, and the complexities of the Civil War, World War I and the Zionist movement that tested both their burgeoning empires and their identities as americans, Germans and Jews.

Daniel Schulman is a best-selling author and journalist whose work has appeared in publications including The Boston Globe Magazine, Politico, Vanity Fair, the Washington Post, and Mother Jones, where he is the magazine's deputy Washington, DC bureau chief. Schulman's first book, Sons of Wichita, a biography of the Koch brothers, was a finalist for The Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award. He lives outside of Boston with his wife and sons.

Praise for the book: "A must-read for anyone seeking to gain a deeper understanding of the roots of modern finance and its foundational families. Schulman weaves a masterful tapestry of history, bringing to life the untold stories of a group of trailblazing pioneers who left an indelible mark on global business and Jewish life. It's a monumental work."
