Great American Investments A History of the Bold Initiatives That Shaped a Nation

What were the Bold Investments that Built America?

Renowned investment thinker Charles Ellis tells the stories of fourteen audacious investments America made in itself-investments that have shaped the country and its culture. Each is an adventure story of daring, vision, and intrigue.

Published for the 250th anniversary of the United States, the book offers lessons of bold leadership and invites readers to ponder what further investments we should be making in our nation's future.

Called "Wall Street's Wisest Man" by The Wall Street Journal, Ellis is as good a storyteller as he is a financial guru, bringing these remarkable initiatives to life for a new generation.
