The seeds of some family fortunes were sown early. Anna Neumann, a prominent Styrian Protestant, used her wealth to lay the foundation for the rise of the Schwarzenberg family. She was a typical self-made figure of early capitalism, which took root in Austria in the 16th century. Episode six explores these beginnings through the stories of wealthy local families who were among the first to grasp the interplay of production, markets, and capital, ventured into money lending, and conquered global markets for their products. In the early 16th century, early capitalism intersected with another significant historical phenomenon: the Reformation. What connections existed between these two movements?
