freeOK概要：Ian Hislop presents an interesting and provocative film about the colorful financiers of the Victorian era, whose spectacular philanthropy shows that the banking industry is not always associated with greed or selfish financial recklessness. Victorian era bankers gained wealth on a scale that previous generations had never imagined, but many of them were dissatisfied with the newly discovered wealth, leading to intense self reflection in the heated national debate about the moral purpose of money and its corrupt potential. Like many other Victorian era bankers, Samuel Gurney was a Quaker. The banking industry and its returns may seem contradictory to a belief in valuing moderate simplicity, but Genie's wealth helped the work of his sister, prison reformer Elizabeth Fry, who is immortal on today's five pound note. George Peabody, a self-made millionaire, was a commercial banker who made a huge donation to housing in London. 150 years have passed, and his residential area still provides accommodation for 50000 Londoners. Angela Burdett Coutts became famous overnight after inheriting Coutts' huge wealth. With her love for puppies and her vast collection, she could have become the Paris Hilton of her time. On the contrary, she later became a great philanthropist. Perhaps the richest among them was Nati Rothschild, who not only tried to ensure that his personal wealth was beneficial, but also that his bank was beneficial. Ian uses his usual touch and creativity to support these extraordinary and generous people. Along the way, he met Dr. Giles Fraser until his recent dramatic resignation - the pastor of St. Paul's Cathedral, Lord Turner, chairman of the UK Financial Services Authority, current Lord Rothschild, a philanthropist, historian Ann Wilson, and Chief Rabbi Sax.
