I need a hero[edit]
This article ACUTELY needs sources. Anyone up to the task? Reverend Black Percy (talk) 20:28, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
- I saw this had only one source and googled it. Couldn't find any actual sources amongst the conspiracy bullshit but I found an article claiming Hitler was a Rothschild. (not sure if this is a Poe). Christopher (talk) 20:40, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
- googled Rothschild family debunked and we're the 4th result. Even more of a reason we need sources. Christopher (talk) 20:43, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
- Hello! Christopher (talk) 15:59, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
- Good stuff. Both Alex Jones and Peter Joseph spend a few documentaries ranting about the Rothschilds... Trust me — I'd know

- Problem is the more you read on the Rothschilds the more their war financeering and other manipulative practices are true while the nebulous conspiracy side of it can't be refuted due to the inherent hidden world it alludes to. 2A02:8084:4EE0:6900:4096:7802:184B:5EED (talk) 10:48, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

So that Niall Ferguson book...[edit]
Being Jewish myself, I'm actually kind of curious about the Rothschilds. Is that Niall Ferguson book any good? From his page here, he's obviously a crank on other issues, but he seems like he might actually be able to write something decent on this subject. --T4nky (talk) 20:05, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
Internal disputes[edit]
I notice scattered reports of internal conflict within the wider family, including that time they apparently split between English Rothschilds and French Rothschilds (or whatever it was), which would seem to contradict the presentation that they're a monolith.

Friedrich Engels[edit]
Friedrich Engels in 1890: "In North America not a single Jew is to be found among the millionaires whose wealth can, in some cases, scarcely be expressed in terms of our paltry marks, gulden or francs and, by comparison with these Americans, the Rothschilds are veritable paupers. And even in England, Rothschild is a man of modest means when set, for example, against the Duke of Westminster."
A curious claim he makes: the Rothschilds were "paupers" (impoverished) compared to the non-Jewish American millionaires of the late 1800s? I took it for granted that the Rothschilds were still in their heyday around this time, maybe they still were. I think he's speaking to something real here, which is the displacement of the old aristocrats to pioneering captains of industry. Chillpilled (talk) 11:09, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
