This is the story of an American dynasty: the father, who built the fortune, the son who cleansed the name, the brothers who manipulated both the name and the fortune to their own ends, and the cousins who often wish they had inherited neither. Cast against the backdrop of our country's history is a spectacular array of characters: a bigamist, a robber baron, a philanthropist, a world-weary cynic, a drifting divorcee, polluters, environmentalists, art lovers and money manipulators.

Horowitz, David (Joint Author.); Rockefeller family (Subject)

A long detailed but interesting chronology of this well known family. (

A surprisingly readable volume. I've never been very much on either biographies or "I" books because there is to much conceit, to little fact, in most of them.
It kind of surprised me - I picked this 700-page volume up, worked around my job and had it read in a week. Still occasionally quote things from it at people.
One of the interesting things about this Biography of a Dynasty is how the different generations saw the money and reacted to both it and the restrictions that go with lots of money. (

Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk.

"Two men have been supreme in creating the modern world: Rockefeller and Bismarck. One in economics, the other in politics, refuted the liberal dream of universal happiness through individual competition, substituting instead monopoly and the corporation.
Bertrand Russel

Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk.

In the early years of the twentieth century, when the Protestant Church was united in its crusade to save the heathen world, the Congregationalists worked hard to conscript their share of Christian soldiers for assignment to the dark lands where the climactic battles between good and evil were to be fought.
