I Love Capitalism!
Author: Ken Langone
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0735216258
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
New York Times Bestseller Iconoclastic entrepreneur and New York legend Ken Langone tells the compelling story of how a poor boy from Long Island became one of America's most successful businessmen. Ken Langone has seen it all on his way to a net worth beyond his wildest dreams. A pillar of corporate America for decades, he's a co-founder of Home Depot, a former director of the New York Stock Exchange, and a world-class philanthropist (including $200 million for NYU's Langone Health). In this memoir he finally tells the story of his unlikely rise and controversial career. It's also a passionate defense of the American Dream -- of preserving a country in which any hungry kid can reach the maximum potential of his or her talents and work ethic. In a series of fascinating stories, Langone shows how he struggled to get an education, break into Wall Street, and scramble for an MBA at night while competing with privileged competitors by day. He shares how he learned how to evaluate what a business is worth and apply his street smarts to 8-figure and 9-figure deals . And he's not shy about discussing, for the first time, his epic legal and PR battle with former NY Governor Eliot Spitzer. His ultimate theme is that free enterprise is the key to giving everyone a leg up. As he writes: This book is my love song to capitalism. Capitalism works! And I'm living proof -- it works for everybody. Absolutely anybody is entitled to dream big, and absolutely everybody should dream big. I did. Show me where the silver spoon was in my mouth. I've got to argue profoundly and passionately: I'm the American Dream.

Sometimes life offers second chances Madeline Stuart has made one too many careless mistakes at her high-powered job and is asked to take a highly suggested vacation. But who could blame her scattered thinking? She’s reeling from a breakup with her long-term boyfriend and her mother’s recent death. While trying to fill the endless hours of free time, Madeline’s curiosity is piqued when she finds an old letter hidden in her grandmother’s antique writing desk addressed to Josephine Amaud in Comfort Crossing. It seems like a perfect time for a road trip to deliver the long-lost letter. What better way to keep busy? Deserted by his big-city girlfriend because he’s a “country bumpkin," Gil Amaud, a business owner in Comfort Crossing, Mississippi, has sworn off women… … then he meets Madeline who needs his help. How could he refuse her? They soon discover the love letter was written many years ago by Josephine’s first beau, Paul, but she never received it. While they try to unravel the mystery of how the letter ended up in the desk and work together to locate Paul, both Gil and Madeline try to deny the attraction developing between them.
