The Global Merchants: The Enterprise and Extravagance of the Sassoon Dynasty Joseph Sassoon in conversation with Moin Mir A generational saga of the ‘the Rothschilds of the East’, The Global Merchants: The Enterprise and Extravagance of the Sassoon Dynasty, tells the story of Jewish Baghdadi Sassoons who amassed great wealth through finance and trade. One of the richest families for over two hundred years, they were chief treasurers to the pashas of Baghdad and Basra until they were forced to flee. They slowly rebuilt their empire with trade of cotton and opium in India and set up textile mills in China, Japan, Paris and London. They found their way in the system by becoming members of British parliament and buying Britain’s leading newspapers, including The Sunday Times and The Observer. In 1887, they fused with the empire of the Rothschilds, creating a Jewish monopoly on the commerce and banking sector. In conversation with Moin Mir, Joseph Sassoon unpacks the riveting history of the Sassoons against the backdrop of the Ottoman Empire, across Europe and Great Britain, at its peak.
