Features: Through these sharp-witted and satirical, uniquely styled stories, Gordon presents us with a feast of the history of American business. The author is so talkative, he has a keen interest and talent for uncovering anecdotes, and he delights in discussing those bold and eccentric entrepreneurs, the almost-forgotten yet once nationwide fever for making money. As long as you sit comfortably in your rocking chair, you can leisurely share the wisdom and knowledge hidden in the author's witty words. Gordon's short essays are like exciting adventure stories, frequently unfolding on the grand stage of American business. Sometimes the stage is too large, and the drama itself is often overlooked, but when Gordon's stories are strung together, they form a series of thrilling and gripping historical canvases, showing readers how America grew into the world's most prosperous economic power in history, where the "Seven Deadly Sins" that the West deeply regrets are commonplace; here, barbarity and kindness, courage and shame, perseverance and cunning are intertwined; here, to achieve lofty goals, people sometimes have to wear the historically most delicious cheese to die tragically, and the humorous yet tearful explanation of this matter is one of the most popular articles in "The American Spectator" in history.
