Sean Watson’s Reviews > The House of Rothschild, Vol 1: Money's Prophets, 1798-1848 > Status Update

The February Revolution seems like a great parallel to today. “The people had got up the reform cry and it is impossible to resist public opinion any where nowadays (Nat Rothschild, 452).” Just like the industrial revolution and railways which contributed to the French, June, and February revolutions, technology today seems to be having the same effect of sharpening class divides bringing out far left reactions.

This final chapter is shaping up to be a strong finish to the book and by far the most interesting chapter.
