The Myths about the

Great Men. In my life I have studied the stories of George Washington, Thomas Edison, Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick. The issue is with the behaviors their bibliographies install as virtues - and, in light of Malcolm Gladwin's ideas about OUTLIERS, gives one pause about who these great men really are. I mean Carnegie and Frick created very strong myths about the practice they undertook to prepare them for the capitalisyt launch.
