Drawing on substantial new material, Cyrus A. Ansary gives a riveting account of how George Washington sought to put in place in America an economic system that was the antithesis of what had existed in the colonies under Britsh rule. The entrepreneurial economy - which nutures and rewards innovation and inventiveness - did not sprout into being in the United States by sheer happenstance. It was put in place by our first president. George Washington painstakingly laid the foundation for it, but it did not take root without a struggle. He needed extraordinary tenacity to overcome fierce opposition to his program. President Washington's economic initiatives are the least well understood facets of Washington's busy and productive life. They enlarged the dreams and opportunities of Americans, led to a flourishing entreprenuerial climate, and are an inspiring tale for our time (back cover.) 20210720. Entrepreneurial Non-fiction.
