The Pantheon

The American Pantheon is a result of years of research into the Golden periods of American business and capitalism. It has produced a number of iconic biographies. At the seat of Jupiter is President William McKinley, who developed a managed approach to American exceptionalism in manufacturing and industry. On his right side are business innovators such as H. J. Heinz, George Westinghouse, Andrew Carnegie, and Michael Owens. On the left there are William McGuffey, America’s educator, and Henry Clay Frick corporate organizer. The Pantheon of books includes tributes to the many developers of early industry in general (The Pig Iron Aristocracy, Boys of Braddock, and Iconic Lessons of Operations Management). The many industrial laborers are honored in the book A Genealogy of Greatness. Over twenty of these “gods of business” are interviewed and questioned about today’s problems in the book-Interviews with the Titans of Business.






















America’s greatest capitalists and industrialists – can lead the way back to greatness. The literary pantheon preserves the memory for our youth.

Henry Clay Elected to Congress September 4

Henry Clay of Kentucky was elected to Congress on 1812, September 4. Alexander Hamilton, Henry Clay, and Matthew Carey can be considered the founding fathers of American manufacturing. They believed the government was responsible for creating an economic environment for manufacturing. Clay in 1825 introduced his “American System,” which stated that no political system could last without a government backed economic foundation. Clay argued for a system of protective tariffs to promote manufacturing, government investment in manufacturing infrastructure, and government backed banking and capital for manufacturing. Henry Clay would be a force in manufacturing politics until his death in 1852, and the founder of the Whig Party, which would dominate future manufacturing centers of Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, and New England. Clay’s “American System” would be the basis of American manufacturing dominance for over hundred years.
