Let me preface this by saying I liked the book. It was an easy read and a great 'capsulation' of each generation of Mega Millionaire. It was a great 'primer' for who was famously popular in each era.
On the other hand, it appeared to me that the vast majority of the men capsuled in this book did it through ruthless agression and the abscence of Anti Trust laws.
Granted, many men in this book were subject to Anti Trust laws AFTER they made their millions, and adhering to ... Read More

Money & Power is a lively introductory look at how modern business grew and developed. This well-researched book outlines the history of industry, commerce and power. This summary of the History of Business portrays the figure of an Entrepreneur as a real Creator of the future. The greatest problem that business people faced in Christian Europe was that profit-making was considered sinful, because Jesus drove away money-changers from a temple (As you know, temples in the Middle East were used ...

I found this a thoroughly enjoyable book. It is an easy read without being superficial. The writers focus mostly on American business--Morgan, Rockefeller, Ford and Gates--with emphasis on their money-making schemes & abilities. These are not "tell-all" biographical sketches.

I found the chapter on Tulipmania fascinating (it is also ... Read More

This volume, based on a PBS documentary, is as much about the unique characters who drove the evolution of business as it is about vast historic trends. Author Howard Means blends the color of a cinematic treatment with the rich context and detail of a comprehensive history. In so doing, he's accomplished the ultimate historian's goal: Presenting history in such a way that it is clearly relevant to modern-day life, and in this case, business. From biblical moneychangers to the miraculously large pool ... Read More

"Money & Power" is an interesting book about the men that made significant contributions to the history of business since St. Godric. However, the 20th century is not accurately represented in the book. Basically, "Money & Power" forgot the contribution that japanese entrepreneurs like Eiji Toyoda (and his famous Toyota Production System) made to the industrial manufacturing. The book also superficially reviewed the computer technology/telecommunication revolution that has been modyfing the business ... Read More
