The debt-ridden regimes of Poland and Iran, Brazil and Zaire, Singapore and Pakistan.
The wizards of Grand Cayman – the sunny tax haven who had more registered corporations than inhabitants.
The Medicis, the Rothschilds, the Barings, the Barclays whose banks transformed the economic map of the world.
