About this audiobook

Discover the lives and achievements of more than 90 of the world's most inspirational and influential entrepreneurs and business leaders with this audiobook.

Comprehensive in its scope and depth, Entrepreneurs Who Changed History profiles leaders of industry across the world and throughout the ages - from the enterprising bankers of the medieval world and the merchants of empire, to the titans of industry and the geniuses of Silicon Valley. The towering personalities behind some of history's most recognisable brands and companies - their ruthlessness, tenacity, creativity, and sheer grit - are all brought to vivid life.

Profiling the kings and queens of commerce and trade, Entrepreneurs Who Changed History features the familiar faces of Vanderbilt and Rockefeller, Ford and Ferrari, Gates and Zuckerberg, alongside lesser-known figures such as the enterprising women of colonial America, the emancipated slaves who became millionaires against all odds, and the individuals powering today's emerging economies.

Ratings and reviews

It is not a book with deep content. Rather, it is a chronicle about entrepreneurs, pioneers of whom generalities are indicated, expanding in more detail on, apparently, the more significant cases. It's easy to understand, even for someone who, like me, is learning English.
