Since the formation of the American Republic the principles of free enterprise and equal opportunity have been at the very core of economic philosophy.

America quickly became a society in which an individual's success would be measured not by birthright, but rather by determination. In this atmosphere, men and women have sought fortune limited only by their own abilities, their willingness to work hard, and their courage in the face of unknown dangers A series of fourteen lectures reviewing core principles of American economic philosophy through the lives of American entrepreneurs from John Jacob Astor to Andrew Grove and Bill Gates
