Скачать или смотреть The Bank That Bought God (Literally)

How do you earn 22% returns in an era when the Church says lending money can damn your soul?

The Medici solved that problem — and built a 300-year financial empire in the process.
This is the story of the banking system that funded the Renaissance, corrupted a republic, survived an assassination in a cathedral, and left behind an art collection that still powers Florence's modern cultural economy.

From Giovanni di Bicci's currency mechanics to Anna Maria Luisa's final signature, this is the architecture of a dynasty.
