"During the some one hundred and forty years over which the Lazard saga unfolds, many fortunes have been built in France. Brilliant industry captains emerged. None survived the test of time. Forgotten, Louis Renault. Squandered, the considerable fortunes of André Citroën or the perfumer François Coty."
