In this visual satire, Scrooge McDuck takes on the features of a Rothschild, the emblematic figure of Jewish banking dynasties historically tied to global finance. The character is no longer just the greedy duck from cartoons, but a mask of the modern capitalist, clutching promissory notes as symbols of the debt that rules over entire societies.

The title “A View from the Royal Exchange” points to the cradle of London’s financial elite, blending myth, cartoon imagery, and real power.
The piece exposes how collective imagination has turned money into religion, and bankers into new deities of modernity: smiling, disguised as familiar characters, yet powerful enough to dictate the fate of the masses.
