Captains of Industry: Chris and Jason Angelini of American Bench Craft

Captains of Industry: Andy Weir, Author of The Martian
Like so many people, I was absolutely taken in by Andy Weir’s sci-fi novel, The Martian.

Captains of Industry (or Men of Business Who Did Something Besides Making Money)
In 1884, at the height of the Industrial Revolution, while prominent figures such as Andrew Carnegie, J.D. Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, and a few other men whose achievements on such a massive scale had earned them their place in history (as well as still being household or at least familiar names to this day), ...
