Short Bio: Konstanz, Germany was a picturesque town on the border with Switzerland, it was here the young Adolph spent his infant years, his father was a watch maker and wanted the best for his only child. When Adolph was 6 years old his father moved to Zurich, where he became a watchmaker for Rolex, here his family really came into its own, showing its true potential. His father rose to high ranking job on the design team for Rolex soon making six figures a year, meanwhile his wife became a well respected university teacher at the university of Switzerland. It was not Adolph's original intention to enter finance, when he was growing up he wanted to become a sports announcer, but these dreams faded when reality hit him. He soon came to absorb a lot of knowledge about economics and finance. When he was 18 he attended the University of Berlin back in his home country of Germany. Here he was a backward student, who often had trouble seeing eye to eye with his teachers. He dropped out after 3 years, and went back to Switzerland, it was on this train ride back home he met a peculiar man, the two men ended up wrapped up in a conversation, apparently this man had gone through the same situation as Adolph when he was younger.
He talked about the current banking economic situation of Europe, sharing his views and often agreeing with the principles of Bismarcks Realpolitik. After several hours of talking about himself the other man introduced himself, little did he know, but Adolph had been talking to the then president of Credit Suisse, one of the largest banks and stock companies, a close second to Duestchebank. The man saw the potential in Adolph and offered him a job on the board of directors, as his old Chief of Marketing had just retired. Adolph agreed and before he knew it he was a well respected banker among the business world. He was able to find numerous gaps in the Asian and American markets that helped expand Credit Suisse banking influence outside of Europe. When the old CEO retired Adolph became the new one, and saw a top down reorganization of the company that made it wildly more efficient. However the old man, that had talked with Adolph on that train ride had become frail and old, one morning on a fateful day he just didn't get out of bed. With him dead, the presidency of the corporation past to the mans Son, who wasn't nearly as fond of Adolph as his father was. With no where to go, Adolph went back to Berlin, he was given a job in the economics department of the University and began to study and teach economics. He created his own school of thought, between the Chicago and Keynsian schools, known as the Berlin School of Economic Thought. Several books later his policies and suggestions began to be taken up by the government. On his 54th birthday, he got a surprising phone call from the Kaiser, he wanted him to become the Reichsminister of Finance, after much deliberation he agreed to leave the university bringing some of his closest colleagues and best students with him to reorganize the Finance system of the country. His friend Klaus Spitze became the head of the Imperial Reserve Bank and he created a new circle of Economics ministers. Reform after Reform curbed a government debt crisis, using microeconomic management to improve the economic situation, unlike the previous ministers Adolph believed in managing things from a Microeconomic level and not the Macroeconomic level, believing that looking into every little detail was more important than the big picture.
