The Vital Few, a study of the contribution of entrepreneurs to the American        economy, provides portraits of the men and women whose individual enterprise has        helped to establish the character of the American businessperson and to carry our        economy forward from colonial times. Examining such legendary figures as William        Penn, Eli Whitney, Henry Ford, and J. Pierpont Morgan in their social and economic        environment, Jonathan Hughes illuminates each period of American economic history        and provides insights into the workings of American business and the special        qualities required of its super-achievers. Taking into account such dramatic changes        in the economy as the explosive growth of government and the puzzling effects of        "e;stagflation,"e; Hughes has now expanded his original volume. The new edition includes        two additional biographies and a short essay on the nature of bureaucracy in both        the government and the private sector. Both biographies are of "e;bureaucratic        entrepreneurs"e;, whose work in the federal government represents the two most        prominent trends in government economics. Mary Switzer's 48-year career demonstrates        the ways in which the modern welfare state has developed. First a catalyst then a        major force in establishing social programs and institutions, she is in large part        responsible for the existence of the American welfare state. Marriner Eccles's        career, on the other hand, shows the evolution of "e;compensatory"e; fiscal and monetary        policies from the New Deal to the Korean War. A self-made millionaire who was        appointed to a high-level job in the federal government, Eccles quit his post after        1950, convinced that American economic policy was hopelessly inflationary and        economically destructive. With these new additions, The Vital Few, long a source of        inspiration and economic interest, is more accessible and useful than ever.
