(245 words) The meaning of the phrase of N. Rothschild is reduced to the fact that in modern life the main role is played by information. I completely agree with the opinion of this outstanding financier.
For a long time, people who received first-hand information became powerful. An example is the story of the author of the statement, who made a fortune on the stock exchange, where the main role was played by information about how a particular situation will affect the growth or fall of stocks. Even today, information retains its power over society and the fate of specific people.
For example, this thesis is proved by the fact from the life of modern Russia of the 90s, when the famous financial pyramid invented by Sergey Mavrodi began its work. Intensive advertising planting caused a real boom among the population, massively investing all their savings in this financial “dummy”. This happened because the founder of MMM actively used the media, posting custom materials there, where the security of these investments was justified. The Russians, by the habit learned in the USSR, believed everything they read or saw on the screen.
Another example can be found in the poem by A. Twardowski "Vasily Terkin." In the “Crossing” chapter, a soldier risks his life by crossing an ice river in order to convey important information to the command. In a war, its value increases at times, because quickly delivered information about the situation on the enemy’s coast can decide the outcome of the battle. Understanding this, Vasily is in a hurry to report to the commander about the landing and resistance of the soldiers, so that he orders to help them. As we know, the hero managed to turn the tide of this battle.
Summing up, we see that whoever owns the information owns the world. She can save and destroy, deceive and discover the truth. It is only important to dispose of it correctly.
