Wildcatters: A Story of Texans, Oil, and Money

ISBN: 1587982161

Author: Helgesen, Sally

Condition: Used

Before she became known as a top-selling expert on workplace leadership and women's management styles (/The Web of Inclusion , The Female Advantage , Helgesen was a journalist who told this macho tale of three generations of Texas oil tycoons across the rollercoaster of the 20th century. Originally published in 1981, it's a story (she writes in her introduction) that changed Helgesen into an optimist about the American free enterprise system and a fan of its frontier spirit. In a twee touch that is the result of an apparent effort at Old West design, the typeface appears slightly blurred. The edition has no subject index.
