I Love Capitalism!: An American Story by Ken Langone

A businessman recounts his rise and convictions

Good Condition - with a lightly scuffed and grubby pale dust jacket, small surface marks and creasing at the spine ends and upper corners. Pages overall clean.

Ken Langone traces his path from a working-class childhood on Long Island to a career in finance and his role as a co-founder of Home Depot. Recalling the effort required to finance his education, establish himself on Wall Street and recognise opportunities others overlooked, he describes the relationships, judgements and risks that shaped his working life. His account also covers corporate disputes, philanthropy and his belief in the possibilities offered by free enterprise. Written as both a personal memoir and an argument for the economic system he credits with his success, the book presents Langone's outspoken view of ambition, opportunity and the responsibilities that accompany wealth, alongside stories from a long business career.
