Business, free enterprise, and the blessings of capitalism are frequently overlooked or even disparaged by 21st-century academicians who either know little of them or dislike, sometimes despise them. Oklahomans 2 recognizes the indispensable role played by those who invent solutions, develop products, build businesses, provide jobs, and make payrolls, for the prosperity of Oklahoma and America. Though no single book can cover or even mention every great Oklahoma commercial story, this one endeavors, from beginning to end, to tell MANY stories—again, in a dramatic, page-turning fashion—of the men and women whose grit, imagination, brains, and products have built this state and made possible the many artistic, educational, medical, religious, and other blessings we treasure.
