| Abstract

"Fascinating trivia from the annals of business history In 1865, nearly half of all U.S. paper currency was counterfeit "You will find it a distinct help if you know and look as if you know what you are doing," advised an IRS training manual Forty percent of home-based businesses required less than $5,000 for start-up capital The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1895 that President Grover Cleveland's proposal to create a federal income tax was unconstitutional "Business's Most Wanted" chronicles the bet and worst of American business, explores the quirks of commerce, and provides an informative and sometimes hilarious look at Wall Street. You'll find out which corporate titans never went to college, who has a bigger house-Microsoft's Bill Gates or Oracle's Larry Ellison-the definition of a triple witching hour, and much more. History buffs, businessmen and businesswomen, and anyone with an interest in the lighter side of enterprise will enjoy this book."--Jacket.
