Description

NOTE: Book does not include final formatting and the index


Standing at the epicenter of political, military, and economic developments in America for almost half a century, George Washington successfully led two campaigns that forever changed the life of all Americans. His first campaign is well-known. It gained freedom from British rule for the American colonies, making it possible to establish a system of political democracy in the United States under a new constitution. Washington then waged yet another campaign, one which laid the foundation for a unique economic system for the country and remains largely unheralded even to this day.

In his civilian life, George Washington was a serial entrepreneur and dealmaker at a time when the private equity world was not even a gleam in the eye of the most farsighted financier. His carefully crafted economic blueprint for the country and his determined execution of its ingredients during his two terms in office are the least understood facets of Washington’s busy and productive life. They broadened the dreams and opportunities of Americans, led to a flourishing entrepreneurial climate, and are an inspiring tale for our time.

Despite the proliferation of books about the entrepreneurial economy in the last several decades, there has been little attention paid to its origin or evolution in America. In George Washington: Dealmaker-In-Chief: The Story of How the Father of Our Country Unleashed the Entrepreneurial Spirit in America, international lawyer, financier, and chairman emeritus of American University, Cyrus A. Ansary, presents an entirely new approach to the life of our first President focused on Washington’s business career and how it influenced his presidential policies. Drawing on substantial new material, it is the first definitive treatment of Washington’s essential contributions to the development of America’s highly successful economic model.
