Rhodes, the dreamy idealist, called his copy of The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius his "most precious possession," while Rhodes, the ruthless businessman, firmly believed in the adage, "every man has his price." He supported invidious racial laws in South Africa, and invented and sponsored the world-renowned Rhodes Scholarships. Although a man of unprepossessing intellectual talents, he became one of the leading figures in the English-speaking world, the confidant of Queen Victoria.StatesmenAfrica, SouthernBiographyCapitalists and financiersAfrica, SouthernBiographyStatesmenCapitalists and financiers968.04/092/4Rotberg Robert I33445Shore Miles F1685753MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823177203321The founder4058128UNINA
