The Entrepreneurs: Surprising Idealists

Rabbi Weissberg relates the fascinating and at time surprising stories of four great American industrial pioneers: Wolf Hellman (founder of Wells Fargo Bank), Jean Lafitte (major pirate and entrepreneur), Sam Zemurray ("Sam the Banana Man," founder of United Fruit Company) and John D. Rockefeller (founder of Standard Oil). Their beginnings, results, and effects on American history and culture are covered in this interesting presentation.
