"The 'organizing genius of this country' and an exemplar of the American Dream-this is how contemporaries styled John Raskob. David Farber evocatively reveals Raskob's 'inner fire' and how it drove decades of innovation within American capitalism. Business, finance, politics, motoring in the West, and creating the Empire State Building were all adventures for Raskob, and Farber's splendid prose captures the zeal and legacies of Raskob's passions."
--Pamela Walker Laird, author of Pull: Networking and Success since Benjamin Franklin
"Seventy-five years before the National Leadership Roundtable on Church Management was founded, John J. Raskob unknowingly provided its mission statement. David Farber has brought to life an extraordinary figure in the history of the Catholic Church in the United States whose gifts to the Church were as much his prescience as his philanthropy."
-- Kerry A. Robinson, Executive Director, National Leadership Roundtable on Church Management
"No other book covers the same ground -- a curious lacuna, given Raskob's undeniable importance in economic history. A thoroughly researched book..."
--Kirkus Reviews
