Today on Jewish Money Matters, I sit with Daniel Schulman, Author of the newly released book The Money Kings: The Epic Story of the Jewish Immigrants Who Transformed Wall Street and Shaped Modern America.  What was the impetus to embark on this project and did he hesitate because of its potential to fuel antisemitism? What were some of the things he learned about the Money Kings, surprises, disappointments and what would he still like to know if he had the chance to sit and interview them? We talk about antisemitism, assimilation and of course philanthropy – one of the most beautiful and significant legacies of the Money Kings.

A little bit more about Daniel. He’s a 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 New York Times Best seller, a finalist for the Financial Times and won the McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award. He lives outside of Boston with his wife and sons.

Here’s Daniel Schulman.
