Burton
Folsom's Empire Builders is a stunning tour de force--a compelling tale of
great entrepreneurs and how their contributions carved a great state out
of a mosquito-infested, swamp-filled territory.

The
Industrial Revolution with its mass production and the increased
availability of goods and services ushered in our modern way of life.
Unfortunately those who have written about it have often not treated it
kindly. This book places a favorable interpretation on this historical
movement. the Revolution and the free trade policies which accompanied it
brought about a marked improvement in the living standards of many Western
countries.
