Why do some succeed while others fail? Lewis answers with lives: Daniel Drew, Russell Sage, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Amos Lawrence, and a gallery of merchants and financiers who started with nothing. Hundreds of pages of American rags-to-riches biography, mined for transferable lessons. The Gilded Age's success stories, told while the paint was still wet.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
