David Rockefeller was born in 1915, the youngest child of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., one of the richest men in the United States, and the great patron of modern art Abby Aldrich Rockefeller. He graduated from Harvard College in the depths of the Depression, when the capitalist order, which his grandfather had helped to create, was under relentless attack. He studied at the London School of Economics and the University of Chicago, where he earned a Ph.D.
He worked briefly for New York City's flamboyant mayor Fiorello La Guardia before enlisting in the U.S. Army in 1942. His service as an intelligence officer in North Africa and France brought him into contact with many of the individuals who would soon dominate European politics and gave him a unique perspective on the events and personalities that eventuated in the "twilight struggle" of the Cold War.
Rockefeller joined the Chase bank in 1946 as an assistant manager in the Foreign Department and rose through the ranks to become chairman of the board and chief executive officer. During that time, he struggled constantly to modernize and internationalize the bank's operations, often against a conservative and risk-averse corporate culture.

Produktbeschreibungen

Pressestimmen

“It is a rare author who can write about himself with openness and candor, but David Rockefeller has succeeded brilliantly. His discussion of his upbringing and of the obligations imposed by great wealth is fascinating, as are his personal reflections on four generations of Rockefellers. What the book also reveals, unconsciously but with great clarity, is the decency, integrity, and humanity of David Rockefeller himself.”—Dr. Henry Kissinger

“Long before globalization became a household word, David Rockefeller realized the importance of cultivating strong, trusting relationships with countries and their leaders around the world. We are privileged to be the beneficiaries of his lifelong commitment to world peace, and to have his reflections on these experiences in this superb memoir.”—Nelson Mandela

“In these memoirs, David Rockefeller provides an account of his life that is candid, incisive, and moving. Whether writing about his remarkable family, his distinguished career, or his important role in world affairs, he offers a unique and invaluable perspective on our times.”
—Kofi Annan, secretary general of the United Nations

“David Rockefeller is one of the most diversely interesting men of our time. It has been my pleasure to know him and his work, and this book, the product of his unique life, is both attractive and thoroughly engaging. It will attract everyone for the knowledge and pleasure it accords.”—Professor John Kenneth Galbraith

Klappentext

David Rockefeller was born in 1915, the youngest child of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., one of the richest men in the United States, and the great patron of modern art Abby Aldrich Rockefeller. He graduated from Harvard College in the depths of the Depression, when the capitalist order, which his grandfather had helped to create, was under relentless attack. He studied at the London School of Economics and the University of Chicago, where he earned a Ph.D.

He worked briefly for New York City’s flamboyant mayor Fiorello La Guardia before enlisting in the U.S. Army in 1942. His service as an intelligence officer in North Africa and France brought him into contact with many of the individuals who would soon dominate European politics and gave him a unique perspective on the events and personalities that eventuated in the “twilight struggle” of the Cold War.

Rockefeller joined the Chase bank in 1946 as an assistant manager in the Foreign Department and rose through the ranks to become chairman of the board and chief executive officer. During that time, he struggled constantly to modernize and internationalize the bank’s operations, often against a conservative and risk-averse corporate culture.

During his eighty-seven years, David Rockefeller has:

• come to know world leaders ranging from Zhou Enlai to Mikhail Gorbachev, Anwar Sadat to Ariel Sharon, General Augusto Pinochet to Saddam Hussein
•worked with every U.S. president since Dwight Eisenhower, at times serving as an unofficial emissary on high-level missions
•traveled to more than one hundred countries, logging approximately five million miles while circling the globe dozens of times

Throughout his life David Rockefeller has been passionately interested in the welfare of the world around him, particularly in the city of New York. His involvement with Rockefeller Center, the Museum of Modern Art, the Rockefeller University, the redevelopment of the Wall Street area and the building of the World Trade Center, and many other projects is revealed in these memoirs.

It’s almost inconceivable that one man’s life could encompass so many things. But David Rockefeller’s life has, and he tells the world all about it in this candid and highly informative book. This is the first time a Rockefeller has ever told his own story.

As a financier, a philanthropist, and the ultimate ambassador without portfolio, David Rockefeller, scion of one of history’s most fabled families, has experienced a life that is unique in every aspect. This, in his own words, is the story of that remarkable life.

Spitzenbewertung aus Deutschland

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 18. April 2014
Schöne Zitate, in denen Rockefeller viele "Verschwörungstheorien" bestätigt.

Gebundene Ausgabe von 2002:
Kapitel "Proud Internationalist"
Seite 406:
"The United States cannot escape from its global responsibilities. Today's world cries out for leadership, and our nation must provide it. In the twenty-first century there can be no place for isolationists: we must all be internationalists."

Über "The Council On Foreign Relations" auf Seite 407/408
What, then, gives the Council its strength and reputation? There are several interrelated factors, beginning whit the qualitiy and diverdity of it's membership, New York City's businessmen, bankers, and lawyers once dominated the proceedings, but during the past thirty years the membership has been broadened to include men and women from the communications industry, colleges and universities, and the not for profit world.

Auf deutsch: Das Rockefeller Imperium hat sich wie ein Krebsgeschwür nicht nur durch Banken und wichtige Industrien gefressen, sondern auch durch die großen Medien, Hochschulen, Universitäten und die Hilfsorganisationen.

Seite 407:
"In short, the quality of its membership, ..... - rather than the secret pipeline into the White House and the State Department - are the reasons that the Council of Foreign Relations continues to influence the formulation of American foreign policy."
Übersetzt: Es wird Einfluß auf die amerikanische Außenpolitik genommen.
Laut unseren Medien eine ganz böse Verschwörungstheorie. Tja, das Buch erschien vor 12 Jahren und kostet ein paar Euro. Ist halt zu viel Recherche für einen echten Journalisten. Doch wahrscheinlich stimmt dies Zitat von 1991, hier ein Auszug von der Ausgabe des Hilaire duBerrier Report (also reported elsewhere in the French press):

[Rockefeller] told his listeners: 'We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years....It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during these years....The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers ... is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in the past centuries."
Kurz: unsere Presstituieren der großen Medien verkauften sich an die Elite und schwiegen deshalb über die Entwicklung. Berichteten kleinere Nachrichtenanstalten darüber, hieß es, sie ahnen es bereits „Verschwörungstheorie!“

Seite 416:
I spoke about this in March 1972 before Chase Investment forums in Montreal, London, Brussels, and Paris, calling for an "international commission ..... "such vital fields as international trade and investments; environment problems; control of crime and drugs: population control;..."
Rockefeller forderte eine internationale Kommission die sich auch um die Bevölkerungskontrolle kümmert. Wenn man dann noch die Aussagen gewisser Leute zur "Bevölkerungsexplosion" und den Guides Stones in Georgia dazu nimmt, stellt sich die Frage welche Menschen denn genau zu viel sind. Wer entscheidet dass? Ach, so die Eliten.

Auf 416 und 417 beschreibt er seine Freundschaft zu Brzezinski, der später vielen US-Präsidenten als "Berater" diente und heute noch dient. Einer der direkten Verbindungen in die hohe Politik.

Seite 419:
I have kept a record of most people I have met since the 1940s. Their names are stored in an electronically operated Rolodex that contains upward of one hundred thausend entries. Each card records my first contact and all subsequent meetings, and I can quickly review the nature of my past associations before seeing someone again. In a surprising number of countries – Mexico and Brasil, for instance – I have met every head of the state since World War II, several of them many times.
Grob übersetzt: Seit 1940 speichert er alle Kontakte und hat nun über 100.000 Einträge. In vielen Ländern traf er die sämtliche Staatschefs seit dem 2. Weltkrieg.
Na, wenn dass kein Netzwerk ist.

Zuletzt das bekannteste Zitat auf Seite 405:
"Manche glauben gar, wir seien Teil einer geheimen Kabale, die entgegen die besten Interessen der USA arbeitet, charakterisieren mich und meine Familie als "Internationalisten" und Verschwörer, die gemeinsam mit anderen weltweit eine integrierte globale politische und wirtschaftliche Struktur schaffen - die einheitliche Welt, wenn sie so wollen. Wenn das die Anklage ist, dann bin ich schuldig, und ich bin stolz darauf."

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 12. Januar 2017
He was very close to his mother and admired how she found time to show her affection to her children even though her attention was to go to her husband. He gives us a insite view of their lives. It was interesting how he started a bank and how he ran it.
