Sinopse
Their name is a byword for wealth and power but before their renown as art patrons and princes, the Medici built their fortune on banking. Tim Parks tells the fascinating, frequently bloody, story of the family and the dramatic development and collapse of their bank
In a brisk and witty narrative, Tim Parks uncovers the intrigues, dodges and moral qualities that gave the Medici their edge. Vividly evoking the richness of the Renaissance and the Medici's glittering circle, replete with artists, popes and kings, Medici Money is a brilliant look into the origins of modern banking and its troubled relationship with art and religion.
