age ten, most physicians had never been to college, and life expectancy was 47.3 years. How did America move forward? The emergence of the world's largest middle class and advancement of civil institutions including hospitals and universities are traced alongside the country's economic growth and setbacks. Surprising stories of what happened to the massive fortunes of robber barons and industrial tycoons add to the ways in which this book shatters some widely held stereotypes. Critical links between incentive and innovation become clear inthe decades-long Dark Age of American Innovation that turned the industrial heartland into the "Rust Belt."This is well-researched history, drawn from corporate records, presidential letters and congressional reports, the wills and estate plans of the wealthiest and testimonies of those in need and those who served them. After One Hundred Years fills the large gaps that exist in most histories of America's twentieth century and sheds important light on today's quest for innovation, job growth, and renewed prosperity."...an enjoyable epic."--LegatusMagazine
