À propos de l'auteur
John Davison Rockefeller (1839–1937) was not primarily known as an author but rather as an immensely influential figure in the realm of business and philanthropy. As the co-founder of the Standard Oil Company, he played a critical role in the development of the oil industry in the United States, becoming one of the wealthiest individuals in history. His book, 'Random Reminiscences of Men and Events', offers a window into the thoughts and experiences of this titan of industry. It provides insights into Rockefeller's business practices, personal philosophy, and the various philanthropic endeavors that marked his later years. In this work, readers gain a nuanced understanding of the complex individual behind the storied wealth and success. While Rockefeller's literary output was not prolific, his contributions to economic and social spheres have made a lasting impact, and his writing serves to illuminate the mindset that guided his significant decisions. His literary style in 'Random Reminiscences' is reflective, candid, and didactic, often aimed at imparting lessons derived from his own experiences. Though a singular work, it remains a relevant exploration of the principles that governed the life of one of the most iconic figures of the American Gilded Age.
