Have you ever wanted to run your own business?
Have you found yourself working for someone else’s business and have felt envious of their position?
Do you question how successful people manage to make it to the top and maintain their success in business?
If you have pondered any of these questions, then perhaps you also have an interest in people who came before and set the path for modern business. It may be possible to ignore the advice and mistakes of the past and try to implement original and novel ideas, but it may be more taxing and ultimately fallible.
In order to truly understand what it takes to be successful in business, it may do well to understand how capitalism came to be in the first place. Whether or not you ascribe to capitalistic ideals, it is currently the economic platform the majority of the world sits on and therefore it is necessary to understand how to navigate it effectively.
There are many in business who have been unscrupulous or just plain sociopathic. However, there are those who have seen success and have found that they can do the greatest good at the same time. Do you look for the men and women who have succeeded and helped the world or only looked for their own gain?
