Sobre este artículo
NY: Alfred A.Knopf, 1946. 9th pr.. Hardcover. Very Good/None. Hardcover, blue cloth covers with gilt design.418 pages plus index, b&w illustrations. Lengthy and insightful history of Stanford, Crocker, Hopkins and Huntington (the "Big Four" of the title) along with the unsung Judah and Colton, along with their wives and families, and how their drive to establish and maintain monopolistic control of transportation to the West shaped California, for better or for worse. Their practices are the pinnacle of free-market capitalism at its best, or the nadir of obstructionist capitalism at its worst. Clean copy. Record # 382020
