Overview
Narrative of 350 years of American business, including the persons, events and inventions of the past.Synopsis
Originally published by Harper & Row in 1987, this historical celebration of "enterprising genius" in America is aimed at the general reader. From the Puritans to the "mature business society" that America had become by the 1980s, the author offers paeans to such gifts to humankind as John Jacob Astor and John D. Rockefeller, with rarely a harsh word to say about any of them. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
