The Rockefeller Conscience

Résumé du livre

This biography of the Rockefeller family chronicles the postwar activities of the Rockefeller brothers in order to demonstrate how the high moral values of the first John D. Rockefeller passed to the modern Rockefellers, who were imbued with a sense of stewardship, obligation, and service. Harr and Johnson utilize family documents and financial accounts to present an authoritative portrait of this family's substantial influence on the shape of postwar corporate and governmental culture. They focus on the Rockefellers' philanthropy, and cover their other diverse interests as population control, urban problems, and the Japanese society. ISBN 0-684-19364-7: $35.00.
