Business+Leader+Project

====America was founded on capitalistic ideals. Adam Smith, in his "Wealth of Nations" preached pure capitalism, or laissez-faire. This type of economic system was slightly altered for our society. Ever since the founding of our country money has represented power. Businesses have monopolized the oil industry, steel industry, telephone industry and more. Other businesses have just one employee. There is a place for all businesses in America. Your job is to research a famous business leader and share what you learned with the class. For this project you can use any sources available to you as long as the source is reputable. (If you aren't sure about your source ask me.) Here are several references to get you started:====
