Mayer Amschel BauerThroughout this decade Mayer Amschel Bauer works for a bank owned by the Oppenheimers in Hanover, Germany. He is highly successful and becomes a junior partner. While working at the bank he also becomes acquainted with General von Estorff.

Following his father's death, Bauer returns to Frankfurt to take over his father's business and changes his name to Rothschild, after the red sign over the entrance door (Rot is German for red and Schild means sign).

Mayer Amschel Rothschild discovers that General von Estorff is now attached to the court of Prince William IX of Hesse-Hanau, one of the richest royal houses in Europe, which gained its wealth by the hiring out of Hessian soldiers to foreign countries for vast profits (a practice that continues today in the form of exporting peacekeeping troops throughout the world). He therefore makes the General's re-acquaintance on the pretext of selling him valuable coins and trinkets at discounted prices. Rothschild is subsequently introduced to Prince William who is more than pleased with the discounted prices he charges for his rare coins and trinkets, and Rothschild offers him a bonus for any other business the Prince can direct his way.

Rothschild becomes close associates with Prince William, and ends up doing business with him and members of the court. He soon discovers that loaning money to governments and royalty is more profitable than loaning to individuals, as the loans are bigger and are secured by the nation's taxes.

Benjamin FranklinBenjamin Franklin is asked by officials of the Bank of England to explain the prosperity of the colonies in America. He replies,

"That is simple. In the Colonies we issue our own money. It is called Colonial Scrip. We issue it in proper proportion to the demands of trade and industry to make the products pass easily from the producers to the consumers. In this manner creating for ourselves our own paper money, we control its purchasing power, and we have no interest to pay no one."

As a result of Franklin's statement, the British Parliament passes the Currency Act of 1764 which prohibits colonial officials from issuing their own money and orders them to pay all future taxes in gold or silver coins. Referring to after this act was passed, Franklin would state the following in his autobiography:

"In one year, the conditions were so reversed that the era of prosperity ended, and a depression set in, to such an extent that the streets of the colonies were filled with the unemployed...The colonies would gladly have borne the little tax on tea and other matters had it not been that England took away from the colonies their money which created unemployment and dissatisfaction.

The viability of the colonists to get power to issue their own money permanently out of the hands of King George III and the international bankers was the prime reason for the revolutionary war."
