5.0 out of 5 stars A careful dig into the evolution of wealth and morality.
O'Toole's talent and indefatigable research hit pay dirt! Money & Morals in America is the best book I've read on the evolution of business and social issues in the USA. She has taken complex subjects and smoothed them out for a pleasurable read. Economics and morality have changed much since Poor Richard sold pamphlets and every entrepreneur should study these...

3.0 out of 5 stars Interseting, clearly with a liberal point of view.
The stories of early Americans and early twentieth century people are interesting and informative. The post WWII accounts promote an annoying liberal agenda. The author tries to equate some second rate modern liberals with true "giants" of American history.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful stories of heros doing the right thing., November 11, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Money and Morals in America: A History (Hardcover)
I did not believe Money AND Morals could be used together, until I read this book. It always seemed like an either/or dilemma. Either commit yourself to make money or live a moral and less prosperous life. These stories were about people who found that it was good business to include everyone. The heros in this book didn't shower poor people with money, they offered a hand and an opportunity to do better for themselves and families. A tribute to American independence.
