'... a splendid and informative work of social history that calls orthodox views of the German economic elite in the Wilhelmine period into question. Her work is a fine combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis and presents a portrait of this important group in society that is as convincing in its evidence as it is fascinating in its detail.' Gerald D. Feldman, Professor of History, University of California, Berkeley 'This is a highly interesting study on the very rich in the urban, industrial and financial world of Imperial Germany.' Hartmut Kaeble, Professor of Social History, Humboldt-University, Berlin ls"... a crisp, analytical collective biography of the financial elite in Wilhelmine Germany ...

- 0***1 (1564)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThis book arrived within the time period given and was in the 'very good' condition described. Unfortunately, only being packaged in a plastic bag to traverse the Atlantic meant that all four corners got a battering (I would be happy to pay bit more in future for a bit of cardboard support in packaging) but all in all, the price was good and overall service for books that are difficult to get over here, I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend this seller. Will buy again from them.
