More than a memoir, Capitalist at Large recounts the history of the past 50 years through the subjective experiences of international businessman James D. Jameson, providing behind-the-scenes glimpses of global decision makers during memorable moments of transition. In its pages, he meets with Mikhail Gorbachev while his empire is crumbling, dodges tear gas on the streets of Santiago, Chile, as Augusto Pinochet's reign ends, and dines with Fidel Castro on the eve of the U.S. presidential election in 2000.
Capitalist cuts through the misleading rhetoric about free trade by highlighting an unsung alternative to the hegemony of large multinational corporations and the stagnation of economic isolationism: the path of the individual entrepreneur.
"...Jameson blends his personal four-decade odyssey with constant discussion and analysis of why and how capitalism works to produce a brief that is as interesting as it is enlightening."
"A fascinating, timely, and important book. James Jameson has lived an exciting life, and he draws from it valuable lessons about how to prosper and where our world is headed."
