In episode 73 we are joined by Phillip Jimenez to discuss the banking oligarchs of Renaissance Italy often referred to as the Black Nobility. Our guest explains how these powerful families, some with lineages going back over 2000 years continue wield tremendous power. More power in fact than many of the more commonly cited names such as the Warburg’s or Rothschilds. This in Phillips opinion is part of the illusion. The reality is these 15th and 16th century oligarchies are ruling from the shadows, controlling finance, commerce and geopolitics moreover. As part of our series Saturn’s Bankers we recently discussed the Venetians, and in this episode we extend on that conversation to add further color to the narrative. Enjoy The Show?
