DOWNLOAD EBOOKThere are worse men than John D Rockefeller,' Arena magazine observed at the turn of the century. 'There is probably not one, however, who in the public mind so typifies the grave and startling menace to social order.' The son of a flamboyant bigamist and pedlar of patent medicine, Rockefeller was by then America's richest man, the mastermind and creator of the country's first and most powerful monopoly: the Standard Oil Company. Reaching into every household across America, Standard Oil controlled 90% of all oil refined in the US, as well as its production, transportation, marketing and distribution. The story of Rockefeller is the story of a pivotal moment in modern history: the shift, after the American Civil War, from small-scale business to economy of scale, and the development of the first modern corporation. In Ron Chernow's magisterial work we see this transition in all of its nuances - accompanied by the rise in labour militancy, the tabloid press and large-scale philanthropy. TITAN is a business epic that, by illuminating the past, teaches us much about where we are today.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Random Reminiscences Of Men And Events" gives interesting insights into the life of the richest person in modern history. - Probably in the life of every one there comes a time when he is inclined to go over again the events, great and small, which have made up the incidents of his work and pleasure, and I am tempted to become a garrulous old man, and tell some stories of men and things which have happened in an active life. In some measure I have been associated with the most interesting people our country has produced, especially in business men who have helped largely to build up the commerce of the United States, and who have made known its products all over the world. These incidents which come to my mind to speak of seemed vitally important to me when they happened, and they still stand out distinctly in my memory.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKJohn Davison Rockefeller Free BONUS Inside!John Rockefeller went down in history forever as the first dollar billionaire and the richest man in the world. Many experts call him the richest man in history. Although it took almost a hundred years from that time, still no one is yet to "break his record" of eternal wealth. In 1917, the wealth of John Rockefeller was estimated to be approximately $ 1000 000 000, and back then it amounted to 2.5% of the total US GDP. The dollar of that time and the dollar today are two big differences, and his fortune today would be over 200 billion dollars. At the end of his life in 1937, the wealth of Rockefeller rose to 1.4 billion dollars, which now would be equal to 300 billion dollars! As a comparison, Bill Gates, whose name has also been ranked first for a long time among the richest people in the world is "only" worth 50 billion dollars. Thus, next to Rockefeller did not stand, even such "giants of money" like Warren Buffett, bill gates and others. Therefore, how could an ordinary man, a son of a lumberjack, who started his financial activities, as an accountant be able to create such astronomical condition of wealth?Here Is A Preview Of What You'll Learn... -Family Roots -Father of the Future Billionaire -Young Rockefeller -Career -Creating the Standard Oil Company -The Company Gained Momentum -Rockefeller's Fight -Personal Life -Charity -Rockefeller's Personal Qualities -Health Care -The Rockefellers Today -David Rockefeller -John D.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“Spectacular . . . A delight to read.” —The Wall Street Journal From bestselling biographer and historian Paul Johnson, a brilliant portrait of Socrates, the founding father of philosophy In his highly acclaimed style, historian Paul Johnson masterfully disentangles centuries of scarce sources to offer a riveting account of Socrates, who is often hailed as the most important thinker of all time. Johnson provides a compelling picture of Athens in the fifth century BCE, and of the people Socrates reciprocally delighted in, as well as many enlightening and intimate analyses of specific aspects of his personality. Enchantingly portraying "the sheer power of Socrates's mind, and its unique combination of steel, subtlety, and frivolity," Paul Johnson captures the vast and intriguing life of a man who did nothing less than supply the basic apparatus of the human mind.
