Books Included in This Lot (as shown in photo):

• The Story of American Business: From the Pages of The New York Times, edited by Nancy F. Koehn (Harvard Business School Press) — A richly curated anthology of landmark New York Times journalism on American business history, edited by Harvard Business School historian Nancy F. Koehn, tracing the rise and transformation of American capitalism through the lens of the newspaper of record. Covering the great entrepreneurs, corporations, financial crises, and economic transformations that shaped American business from the 19th century through the modern era, this is an authoritative and endlessly readable one-volume business history reference.

• The Money Men: Capitalism, Democracy, and the Hundred Years' War Over the American Dollar — A compelling and richly researched narrative history of the long political and economic battle over the nature and control of American money and finance — from the founding era debates between Hamilton and Jefferson through the great currency battles of the 19th century and beyond — examining how the struggle over the dollar has always been inseparable from the deepest tensions in American democratic life.

• Henry Flagler: Visionary of the Gilded Age by Sidney Martin — A beautifully illustrated biography of Henry Morrison Flagler — John D. Rockefeller's partner in Standard Oil, founder of modern Florida, and one of the most audacious and consequential builders in American history. Flagler transformed the wilderness of Florida's east coast into a chain of luxury resort hotels and cities by extending his Florida East Coast Railway all the way to Key West, creating the modern state of Florida in the process. An essential read for Gilded Age enthusiasts, Florida history buffs, and students of American entrepreneurship at its most visionary and dramatic.
