I LOVE CAPITALISM!
An American Story
Here iconoclastic billionaire and New York legend Ken Langone tells the compelling story of how a poor boy from Long Island became one of the world's richest men.
Ken Langone has seen it all on his way to an estimated net worth of $2.7 billion. 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.
In this memoir he tells the story of his unlikely rise and controversial career. It's also a passionate defense of the American Dream 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 colleagues by day. He shares how he learned to evaluate what a business is worth and apply his street smarts to 7- and 8-figure deals.
His ultimate theme is that free enterprise is the key to giving everyone a leg up.
