美国四百年：冒险、创新与财富塑造的历史
(u. S.) B. Srinivasan
The history of the United States is not only political but also economic. Americans exercise their political rights as citizens and their economic rights as consumers. The free market represents adventure, innovation, unscrupulous means, and opportunism in the American spirit. It has influenced the political and legal construction of the United States, and has gradually been regulated by laws and policies in various social movements. They interact with each other to form American capitalism, and shape various material civilizations and urban and rural landscapes. In an easy-to-understand and in-depth way, B. Srinivasan starts from the 400-year history of American economic development and reveals the little-known internal connections. This book tells us why many venture capital firms in Silicon Valley and Wall Street were deeply embedded in the financing process of the "Mayflower"; the American founders' opposition to the British was not only based on political ambitions, but also personal financial considerations; how Andrew Carnegie's original job as a telegraph delivery boy paved the way for him to later lead the steel empire that made him the nation's richest; How the Remington Company emerged as a typewriter manufacturer after the war; how American gangsters imitated the mergers and regulations of traditional enterprises for internal management; how an infrastructure law in the 1950s gave birth to America's most enduring brand: KFC; looking back on the early crazy years of Silicon Valley, the concept of startups is actually as old as the history of the United States.
