Description
John Rockefeller published his Random Reminiscences of Men and Events in 1909. The founder of Standard Oil was then the first billionaire in American history. Critics expected a defense; instead he offered calm reflections on business and giving.
Rockefeller tells of his start as a bookkeeper, his early oil ventures, and the building of a vast company. He shares his rules: keep accounts, respect partners, and give while you live. Friends, rivals, and church life appear between the business chapters. The book is short and guarded, yet it remains the richest American of his age speaking in his own words.
