| Publisher Description: "After One Hundred Years" traces the vital role of business and business leaders--alongside the government and non-profit sectors--in dramatically raising America's standard of living during the twentieth century. From the prologue that reveals Franklin Roosevelt's concerns just three days before his inauguration, through chapters that describe the country's growth and what happened to the massive fortunes of the robber barons and twentieth century industrial tycoons, this book shatters some widely held stereotypes. This well-researched history draws from corporate records, presidential letters and congressional reports, the wills and estate plans of the wealthiest and testimonies of those in need. This book fills a large gap that exists in most histories of America's twentieth century and sheds light on today's quest for innovation, job growth, renewed prosperity for the middle class and security for those in need. "...an enjoyable epic."--Legatus Magazine |
