L'incroyable histoire d'un banquier de Wall Street parti en Chine avec quatre cent cinquante millions de dollars, qui découvre à ses dépens que les règles occidentales n'ont pas cours en Chine. Au début des années quatre-vingt-dix, le marché chinois s'ouvre au monde et Wall Street ne veut pas manquer ça. Les délégués de New York, bardés de diplômes et d'expertise, en costume rayé et mocassins à glands, s'apprêtent à négocier avec les vieux cadres chinois. Le décor est planté pour la scène qui va voir s'affronter les milliards de dollars de Wall Street à la plus ancienne culture du monde. Ceci est une histoire vraie, celle d'un puissant banquier de Wall Street parti chercher la gloire en Chine. Déterminé à surfer sur la grande vague d'investissements qui s'amorce, il fait équipe avec un ex-garde Rouge et l'auteur de ce livre, un Anglais de 46 ans parlant le mandarin. Ensemble, ils lèvent plus de 400 millions de dollars et achètent des usines sur tout le territoire chinois. Ils croyaient leurs contrats bien ficelés et découvrent à leurs dépens que la Chine n'admet que ses propres règles. Depuis dans leur salle de conférence, tandis que leurs partenaires chinois poursuivent leurs intérêts propres, les trois dirigeants assistent à l'engloutissement de tous leurs fonds.

During the second half of the fourteenth and the first half of the fifteenth century, it was particularly hazardous for medieval merchants to invest in government finance. The 'certainty of uncertainty' involved in dealing with princes proved disastrous for innumerable businesses, whether they were modest one-man firms or colossal 'super companies'. Yet, in this same period, the Rapondi, a family active in Bruges but originating from the Italian city of Lucca, achieved a career of more than thirty years in the money-lending business, ending with encomiums of princely praise instead of a bankruptcy. This book explains this remarkable achievement, not with a conventional focus on the individuals who agreed the loans and made up the bills, but by linking their work to the phenomenon that dominated the social and political scene of the Low Countries at the time: the formation of the Burgundian state. In the context of the politics of centralization conducted by the Burgundian dukes and the resistance of the Flemish cities the success story of the Rapondi can be understood. The Duke, the City and their Banker analyses how the firm first engaged in this interaction, how it was able to maintain its position while others failed and how these relations came to an end. While the emphasis of the book lies on the Rapondis' activities in Bruges, the meeting-place of international trade and finance in the fourteenth and fifteenth century, it also offers new insights into other important episodes of this fascinating period, including the Great Western Schism that divided the papacy, the continuing hostilities between England and France and the internal French conflict between Bourguignons and Armagnacs. In doing so, The Duke, the City and their Banker shows how an Italian merchant family was able to shape late medieval economic and political history.
