The great age of American entrepreneurship produced the "robber
barons," men who exercised an enormous influence on the nation's
psychology. What these men thought-or thought they thought-is the
subject of Mr. Kirkland's original and provocative book. Immersing
himself in the statements and writings of businessmen of the era,
he explores their views of the social and economic scene, their
interest in higher education, and their unease with wasteful and
inefficient government. In distilling their dreams and thought, Mr.
Kirkland does not pass judgment on whether their actions measured
up to their words. "Kirkland's book demonstrates that history can
be provocative and even colorful when written with urbanity rather
than partisanship....His book deserves widespread attention by
historians and businessmen alike."-American Historical Review.
"Brightly written and thoughtful...a stimulating integration of
economic and social history."-Journal of American History.
