A Banking Dynasty: The House of Speyer

At the turn of the 20th century, Speyer investment banking, owned by a Jewish family of German descent, was the third largest investment banking firm in the United States, behind only Morgan and Kuhn, Loeb.

Yet the firm was doomed by the nationalist passions aroused by World War I. Join historian George W. Liebmann as he discusses the rise and fall of the firm and the family.
