Pre-Enron Integrity

I loved this book because it had soul, heart and wisdom. Sam Bronfman was an immigrant that took advatage of what NA and in this case Canada had to offer. From selling frozen fish and firewood he "made" one of the largest corporations in the world and had fun doing it. "It's not the money, he said, it's the making of the money". The game, the fun. "The best thing ever invented is compound interest. You make money while you sleep".It is great reading. Americans might have some problems with the British and Canadian references but ignore them or look up the appedndices that are quite complete. A throwback to the likes of Mellon, Carnegie and Heinz. When a deal was made by men that cared about other people.
