This book is about public policy making in New York during the zenith of the great liberal experiment, from 1960, Mayor Robert Wagner's third term, through John V. Lindsay, Abraham Beame, and, finally, to Edward Koch and the inevitable return of fiscal conservatism.The bigger they come the harder they fall. When New York City fell and its intricate, often exotic, budget gimmickry came unstuck, they foundations of every other large city in America shook. If we are not to relive this history it is important to learn the lessons taught so cogently and entertainingly in this book. - Häftad, Engelska, 2008

Hailed as "an astute book of enormous importance" (Sherwin Nuland), The Surgeons follows the team at one of the world's premier cardiac surgery and transplant centers. Given unprecedented access, Charles R. Morris recounts in thrilling detail a late-night against-the-clock "harvest run" to secure a precious transplantable organ, the heartbreaking story of a child's failed transplant, and more. Along the way, Morris reflects on how doctors really think, rising health care costs, and the future of health care in America. - Häftad, Engelska, 2011

"Makes a reader feel like a time traveler plopped down among men who were by turns vicious and visionary."—The Christian Science MonitorThe modern American economy was the creation of four men: Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, Jay Gould, and J. P. Morgan. They were the giants of the Gilded Age, a moment of riotous growth that established America as the richest, most inventive, and most productive country on the planet. Acclaimed author Charles R. Morris vividly brings the men and their times to life. The ruthlessly competitive Carnegie, the imperial Rockefeller, and the provocateur Gould were obsessed with progress, experiment, and speed. They were balanced by Morgan, the gentleman businessman, who fought, instead, for a global trust in American business. Through their antagonism and their verve, they built an industrial behemoth—and a country of middle-class consumers. The Tycoons tells the incredible story of how these four determined men wrenched the economy into the modern age, inventing a nation of full economic participation that could not have been imagined only a few decades earlier.

Economia americană modernă este creația a patru oameni: Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, Jay Gould și J.P. Morgan. Ei au fost giganții epocii de aur, un moment de dezvoltare fără precedent care a făcut din America cea mai bogată, mai inovatoare și mai productivă țară a planetei. Charles R. Morris îi readuce la viață pe magnatul oțelului Carnegie, regele petrolului Rockefeller și vrăjitorul căilor ferate Gould, cei obsedați de progres, experimentare și viteză, precum și pe finanțistul Morgan, omul de afaceri gentleman, care a luptat pentru o încredere globală în afacerile americane. Magnații este incredibila poveste a oamenilor hotărâți care au clădit economia americană, creând un colos industrial – și o întreagă țară de consumatori din clasa de mijloc.
