You know, I did an event in Newport, Rhode Island, and they wanted to compare the Vanderbilt mansions with Rothschild's mansions.
And basically the Rothschild's mansions beat them down.
It is hardly the point because I think livens it up.
Right.
Okay.
That's actually great advice.
I will push that.
Yeah, that's... I can't promise.
Right, exactly.
What started it was the gold rush.
Because Europe, which was the center of the world, went through a terrible depression in the 1840s, fueled by bad harvests and by revolution.
I mean, they actually thought every government in Europe was going to fall and we'd have the equivalent of the Russian Revolution across Europe.
And that didn't happen.
But at the same time, they discovered gold in the United States, and that provided the fuel to get the global economy going.
And you had bankers like the Rothschild, who had made a ton of money in the early part of the 19th century lending to governments.
who jumped on the bandwagon and started lending for infrastructure, and particularly the railroads, but to the private sector, and you got a massive boom in lending.
And it was a boom based on the bond market.
Now, everyone thinks the bond market is a sleepy place where who don't want to take risk, put their money.
But it was essentially that which provided the impetus.
to the growth.
