The Unwitting Sculptors Of The American Super Industrial Model
|
They created their industrial and financial bases for a variety of reasons, the overriding being personal greed and to quench an insatiable thirst for personal power. 'For the good of humanity' whilst never a deliberate intention was, nevertheless, an accidental by-product of The Tycoons nefarious wheeling and dealing in pursuit of wealth and dominance.
Charles Morris tells the comprehensive but not unnecesarily over-detailed account of The Tycoons sometimes individual and sometimes overlapping commercial machinations. The result is a highly readable and interesting account of a pivotal period in the evolution of The American Supereconomy.
When their unethical practices were at last outlawed by the State, there at least remained a framework upon which, with good governance and improving management techniques, others were able to make The United States of America into the World's greatest trading nation. For that The Tycoons are owed a debt of gratitude if not affection.
