Another point that people oft forget is WOMEN.

Sure, Mayer Rothschild sent his kids out to dominate banking in other countries.

They were still doing some serious legwork. You rarely hear anything about the women and wives of the family.

I think there's a blind spot in human consciousness where people are more assumptive that women are less evil than men.

But there are women that do little more than overtly control people to their own ends. A solid example of would be Kris Jenner.

It's not money, it's about power, and not losing power at any "cost".
