What could be more valuable than money? In our expansive times, the greatest projects and giant corporations are created and crumble into dust. What, or rather who, is behind this? Whose names make us admire or envy? These are those whose ideas have radically transformed our world over the last couple of centuries. Making scientific discoveries, inventing phenomenal devices, with the power of their intellect and entrepreneurial talent, they conquered the heights of business and isolated real ideas from many fantasies. These ideas, having created huge capital, changed the world, making it easier for us to progress. The book tells about twenty great businessmen, whose names are known throughout the world, about those who realized their achievements to the maximum so that our lives become more comfortable and perfect. The publication is addressed to a wide audience circle of readers.
