For more than 200 years, the name ''Rothschild'' has been synonymous with two things: great wealth, and conspiracy theories about what they''re ''really doing'' with it. Almost from the moment Mayer Amschel Rothschild and his sons emerged from the Jewish ghetto of Frankfurt to revolutionize the banking world, the Rothschild family has been the target of myths, bizarre accusations, and constant antisemitism.
Jewish Space Lasers is a deeply researched dive into the history of the conspiracy industry around the Rothschild family - from the ''pamphlet wars'' of Paris in the 1840''s to the cinemas of the Third Reich a hundred years later, and to Broadway, rap industry gossip rags, extremist compounds, and the dankest pits of the internet today Author Mike Rothschild - who isn''t related to the family - sorts out myth from reality to find the truth about these conspiracy theories and their spreaders.
Who were the Rothschilds? Who are they today? What role do they actually play in European history and politics? Is any of this actually true? And why, even as their wealth and influence have waned, do they continue to drive conspiracies and hoaxes?
