For more than ten years, John Steele Gordon has written the widely read "The Business of America" column in "American Heritage" magazine. Marked by a combination of erudition, wit, and eloquence, Gordon's stories have celebrated the high points, and occasional low points, in the history of business in this country, from colonial days to the present. Now, the best of his mini-histories have been gathered in one volume. As much as each stands on its own, together they gain in significance as they go beyond mere business to present an intriguing lens on the broad sweep of American history. Gordon deftly connects the past with the present as he compares Frederick Philipse's successful cornering of the wampum market in 1666 with the Hunt brothers' failed attempt to corner the silver market in 1979. He looks anew at famous industrialists like Cornelius Vanderbilt and Henry Ford, and uncovers little-remembered heroes such as Oliver Evans, the founding father of the American industrial revolution, and Samuel Slater, who launched the textile industry in this country. He revels alike in the stories of philanthropist Peter Cooper, inventor Alexander Graham Bell, and the father of television syndication, Desi Arnaz. Gordon reveals how broad trends have developed (government debt and inflation, for example) and how specific words (boondoggle, pork barrel) have entered our language. He even tells the story of America's greatest cheese, Liederkranz, now lost forever. In addition to being a superb historian, John Steele Gordon is a great storyteller. Surveying almost 400 years of enterprise on this continent, "The Business of America" makes invaluable connections between eras and allows us a new appreciation of the richness of the American story.

评分“资本的冒险”作为这本书名字,感觉很不贴切,这会让一部分根据书名来选择的读者感到失望。本书的英文名The Business of America大概是来源于美国总统柯立芝的话The business of America is business。作者戈登十多年来一直为《美国传统》杂志颇有影响的专栏《美国商业故事》...

评分我不知道是翻译的问题,还是作者的问题,抑或是我对美国历史的了解实在太少(在读此书钱,我一直认为美国的历史是200多年,但书中说已经有400年了= =),总之,这书我读得如同嚼蜡。 我觉得,这书的名字很明显的标题党。应该叫美国资本史或者别的什么史之类的,而不是现在的“...
评分美国副总统拜登,在5月13日宾夕法尼亚大学的毕业典礼上,有一段关于中的论述。在华人世界引起了轩然大波。 拜登讲话中有关中国部分的原文和翻译 I love to hear people tell me how to use the vernacular "China is going to eat our lunch." China is a great nation, and we...
