Review & Description
No other city has given the country so many family names that are part of the language and of daily life: Swift, Armour, Wilson, Pullman, Wrigley, Ward, Sears, Morton as in salt, Walgreen as in drugstore, Nielsen as in television ratings and McNally as in atlas. Filled with dramatic success stories, fascinating anecdotes, and tasty morsels of social gossip, The Fortune Builders introduces us to Chicago's quiet Old Wealth, as well as to its rising young entrepreneurs. Published in 1986, The Fortune Builders is a witty, lighthearted collection of stories that is one part AMC's "Mad Men" and two parts Stephen Birmingham's "Our Crowd." Read more
