Review of Julius Rosenwald: The Man Who Built Sears, Roebuck and Advanced the Cause of Black Education in the American South (Philanthropic and Nonprofit Studies) (Hardcover)

This is a fascinating and extremely well-written book about a man who was not only a giant in the business world but also a pioneering philanthropist who genuinely cared about helping people.

Under Julius Rosenwald, Sears Roebuck became the number one retailer in the world. As his fortune grew, Rosenwald turned to philanthropy where his charitable acumen matched his business ability.

Anyone interested in the story of the rise of a great business, the terrible conditions that many African-Americans had to live under--for that's where much of Rosenwald's philanthropy was aimed--and the general business and social climate of theearly twentieth century, will find this a stimulating and provocative book. I warmly recommend it.
