Politicians of countries represent only the tip of the iceberg of power, the secret part of which is usually people who own huge wealth. They have a major impact on world events, playing with the fates of states like chess pieces. Bernard Baruch is a prime example of such dominion.
Bernard Baruch - the famous multimillionaire, born August 19, 1870 in America, South Carolina, in a large family of German immigrants. Bernard's parents were quite wealthy people, but during the civil war they lost all their savings. The boy’s father, Simon Baruch, was a famous physiotherapist and worked for many years in a military hospital. Mom was engaged in children and housework.
As a child, little Bernard was very shy and reserved, which caused numerous ridicule from his peers. It was necessary to gain authority by force. Endless fights and fist fights have become his hallmark.
Carier start
Having matured and graduated from school, Bernard, at the insistence of his parents, gets a broker at the trading exchange. Having studied and analyzed all the subtleties of asset trading, the future tycoon is developing his strategy for a successful business. Bernard turns all his speculations and frauds alone, which allows him to become a millionaire at the age of thirty. The active political activity of Baruch begins in 1912, when his capital helps Woodrow Wilson take the presidency. Wilson, in turn, trusts Bernard to manage the country's military-industrial committee.
During the formation of America as a separate state, the economy in the country began to plummet. Baruch understands that for the country's economic independence it is necessary to lull the vigilance of opponents in the face of the countries of Europe and Asia and to establish the dollar as a single currency.
Political work
Approved by the president, the proposed scam of Baruch allows America to obtain the status of an economic empire. In 1920, Bernard Baruch became the President’s personal adviser on economic issues. While in this position, he succeeded more than one president until in 1943 he headed the military department of Byrnes. Having received authority in the development of nuclear weapons, Baruch is developing his own plan. In 1946, he urged countries around the world to unite in this direction.
But the memories of 1945, when the military government of America dropped nuclear bombs on Japan, demonstrating its power, did not allow Baruch's plan to be realized. Since that time, an arms race has begun in the world. After leaving the post of commander of the national defense, Bernard remained an adviser to the president until he was very old.
