Book Description
Since slavery, there has always been a Big Bucks in every Black neighborhood-desperately conniving, in some cases, to put two pennies together; owning, in others, a number of profitable businesses. He (or she) is a character cut from the same cloth as Rockefeller, Carnegie, Ford, and other giants of American Industry.
The great tragedy is not that Big Bucks and other Blacks like him are unknown in mainstream America, but that, to Black Americans, dazzled by lawyers and other professionals, these entrepreneurs remain invisible.
Whether you are trapped by a glass ceiling, a slave to the corporation, or are just looking for a way to "get off the plantation"; Daddy Big Bucks will inspire and motivate you.
