Front Cover
HarperCollins Publishers, 1991 - Business & Economics - 360 pages
This is the first single-volume popular history of American business--a book that is so completely fresh in its approach and so entertaining and penetrating in its content that it is destined to join The Robber Barons as a business and social history classic. Poor Richard's Legacy reveals how the U.S. went from the legendary Yankee know-how to being the world's largest debtor nation.
