Two examples help show the negative treatment of entrepreneurs in popular histories. Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States (New York, 1995) has now sold over one million copies. Zinn's chapter, "Robber Barons and Rebels," is a scathing indictment of all American industrialists. In a somewhat similar way, Thomas Bailey's U. S. history text, The American Pageant (Lexington, Mass., 2001), has gone through twelve editions and has sold over two million copies. Bailey, and his coauthor, David Kennedy, find little to praise in the lives of John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, J. P. Morgan, and Henry Ford. A corrective to Zinn's and Bailey's view would be Burton W. Folsom Jr., The Myth of the Robber Barons, 4th ed. (Herndon, Va., 2003).

American Historians and the Business Elite
-
Nov.

A prominent example of the older research is William Miller, "American Historians and the Business Elite," Journal of Economic History 9 (Nov. 1949): 184-209, or Mable Newcomer, The Big Business Executive: The Factors That Made Him (New York, 1955). Recent business historians who give more credibility to the rags-to-riches story include Larry Schweikart, The Entrepreneurial Adventure: A History of Business in the United States (Ft. Worth, 2000); Gerald Gunderson, The Wealth Creators (New York, 1989); and John D. Haeger, John Jacob Astor: Business and Finance in the Early Republic (Detroit, 1991). The rags-to-riches theme in U. S. business history still generates interest and disagreement among historians. See the contrasting results in these essays: Burton W. Folsom, "Like Fathers, Unlike Sons: The Fall of the Business Elite in Scranton, Pennsylvania, 1880-1920," Pennsylvania History 46 (Oct. 1980), 291-309; and Peter Temin, "The Stability of the American Business Elite," Industrial and Corporate Change (1999), 189-210.

A prominent example of the older research is William Miller, "American Historians and the Business Elite," Journal of Economic History 9 (Nov. 1949): 184-209, or Mable Newcomer, The Big Business Executive: The Factors That Made Him (New York, 1955). Recent business historians who give more credibility to the rags-to-riches story include Larry Schweikart, The Entrepreneurial Adventure: A History of Business in the United States (Ft. Worth, 2000); Gerald Gunderson, The Wealth Creators (New York, 1989); and John D. Haeger, John Jacob Astor: Business and Finance in the Early Republic (Detroit, 1991). The rags-to-riches theme in U. S. business history still generates interest and disagreement among historians. See the contrasting results in these essays: Burton W. Folsom, "Like Fathers, Unlike Sons: The Fall of the Business Elite in Scranton, Pennsylvania, 1880-1920," Pennsylvania History 46 (Oct. 1980), 291-309; and Peter Temin, "The Stability of the American Business Elite," Industrial and Corporate Change (1999), 189-210.

Along with inquiring about the greatest entrepreneur, female entrepreneur, and underrated entrepreneur, we also also asked a third question: "Who do you believe to be America's greatest minority entrepreneur or businessperson?" Unfortunately, almost one third of our respondents did not answer this question, and those who did lacked agreement on what constituted a "minority." Thus, our results were inconclusive. Perhaps it is worth noting that John H. Johnson received the most votes (eight), with Berry Gordy and Oprah Winfrey close behind (seven votes each).
