Recensione:
... a remarkably thorough survey of just how many companies have been founded, co-founded and/or run by Jewish entrepreneurs over the past century or so in this country. It is an epic list, from Triumph Motorcycles to Granada TV, from Coats Viyella to Bunzl, from Tesco to Lex, from Photo-Me to Ladbrokes, from Hammerson to Odeon, from Sage to St Ives, from Compass to Carpetright, from Glaxo to Reuters, from Harland and Wolff to Kangol, from EMI to Shell . . . and many hundreds of other significant companies. --Luke Johnson, Chariman of Risk Capital Partners and the Centre for Entrepreneurs writing in the Sunday Times
This is a well compiled collection of biographies suitable both for dipping into and as a cover-to-cover read, and compulsive in its representation of the disproportionate achievement of those businessmen and their impact on progress and society. --Sir John Ritblat, Honorary President, The British Land Company PLC
Derek Taylor is a talented researcher and a stylish writer and his book reveals many new accounts of Jewish wealth-creation, inextricably combined with serious charity and social responsibility. His nostalgic post-war review of Jewish business success and philanthropy deserves, for obvious reasons, a wide readership. --Lord Kalms, President, Dixons Retail PLC
