Who Built That: Awe-Inspiring Stories of American Tinkerpreneurs, Malkin Michelle

Call them Americas tinkerpreneurs--unsung innovators who commercialized their little ideas to create products, companies, wealth, and opportunities that thrive today. Tireless, self-made, and largely self-taught, they raised our standard of living with the creation of items we daily take for granted, from razors to bottle caps, flashlights to bridge cables.

This entertaining and enlightening treasury is, in part, Michelle Malkins response to President Obamas infamous assertion that if youve got a business, you didnt build that. She examines how factors such as profit motive, intellectual property rights, patriotism, faith, family, and an unwavering belief in American exceptionalism set the stage for the creation of toilet paper, glass bottles, the hydroelectric power plant, and more.
