Da capa:

"In one generation a Vanderbilt had created the great fortune. In two the family had become the richest in the world. In three generations the Vanderbilts had become the first family of America. But at the end of four generations, power had slipped from their hands and while the Vanderbilts did not suffer poverty, the family had lost its place of leadership in the affairs of America.

What had happened? What makes a fortune - and what destroys one?

Strange qualities, found only in a few men, produce the kind of power our society honors with riches instead of statues. At the pinnacle, these men are sometimes respected for their accomplishments, often hated for their methods, and always envied for their wealth."
