They include: - Genghis Khan, who united east and west by conquest and by opening new trade routes built on groundbreaking transportation, communications, and management innovations. - Mayer Amschel Rothschild, who arose from an oppressive Jewish ghetto to establish the most powerful bank the world has seen, and ushered in an era of global finance. - Cyrus Field, who became the father of global communications by leading the effort to build the transatlantic telegraph, the forerunner to global radio, TV, and the worldwide Internet. - Margaret Thatcher, whose controversial policies opened the gusher of substantially free markets that linked economies across borders. - Andy Grove, a Hungarian refugee from the Nazis who built the company-Intel-that figured out how to manufacture complex computer chips on a mass, commercial scale and laid the foundation for Silicon Valley's computer revolution. Through these stories Garten probes critical questions: How much influence can any one person have in fundamentally changing the world? FROM SILK TO SILICON is an essential book to understanding the past-and the future-of the most powerful force of our times 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 00 Genghis Khan,|d1162-1227|xInfluence. 600 00 Henry,|cInfante of Portugal,|d1394-1460|xInfluence. 600 10 Clive, Robert Clive,|cBaron,|d1725-1774|xInfluence. 600 10 Rothschild, Meyer Amschel,|d1744-1812|xInfluence. 600 10 Field, Cyrus W.|q(Cyrus West),|d1819-1892|xInfluence. 600 10 Rockefeller, John D.|q(John Davison),|d1839-1937 |xInfluence. 600 10 Monnet, Jean,|d1888-1979|xInfluence. 600 10 Thatcher, Margaret|xInfluence. 600 10 Grove, Andrew S.|xInfluence. 600 10 Deng, Xiaoping,|d1904-1997|xInfluence. 650 0 Globalization|xHistory. 650 0 International trade|xHistory. 650 0 International economic relations|xHistory. 650 0 International business enterprises|xHistory. 650 0 Industrialists|vBiography. 650 0 Civic leaders|vBiography. 700 1 Perkins, Tom,|enarrator. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 11577840?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ rcb_9781681680552_180.jpeg
