For anyone interested in both economics and American history, I could not offer a better recommendation. The book goes in chronological order highlighting one pivotal industry in each chapter — ranging from tobacco to railroads to retail to television and everything in between.
I won’t spoil you of all the themes that come up throughout the industries but one I was surprised with was how involved the government was in each.
