Who Built That

Awe-Inspiring Stories of American Tinkerpreneurs

By: Michelle Malkin

Narrated by: Michelle Malkin

Firebrand conservative columnist, commentator, Internet entrepreneur, and #1 New York Times bestselling author Michelle Malkin tells the fascinating, little-known stories of the inventors who have contributed to American exceptionalism and technological progress.

Call them America’s “tinkerpreneurs”—unsung innovators who commercialized their “little” ideas to create products, companies, wealth, and opportunities that thrive today. Tireless, self-made, and largely self-taught, they raised our standard of living with the creation of items we daily take for granted, from razors to bottle caps, flashlights to bridge cables.

This entertaining and enlightening treasury is, in part, Michelle Malkin’s response to President Obama’s infamous assertion that “if you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that.” She examines how factors such as profit motive, intellectual property rights, patriotism, faith, family, and an unwavering belief in American exceptionalism set the stage for the creation of toilet paper, glass bottles, the hydroelectric power plant, and more.

Demonized by the left as greedy villains and selfish barons, these visionaries have nurtured job-creating powerhouses used today by “progressive” propagandists who can’t comprehend how much comfort and convenience they enjoy as a result of the ingenious contributions by these original American dreamers. Are they rich? You bet. They earned their private rewards for the public good. Find out Who Built That—and the next time you turn on your air conditioner, say thank you.

Important things to remember.

Very good book. This book should be required reading for junior high and high school students.

Fabulous

What did you love best about Who Built That?

Michelle Malkin painstakingly tells the stories of those who have built - with their money, with their time, with their intellectual capacities - things that have enhanced all of our lives (even liberals)

Any additional comments?

Malkin should send a signed copy to Michelle and Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, and all Democrats in Congress.

Perfectly narrated

Outstanding book

I really loved this book by Michelle Malkin. It is filled with stories of American investors, and Michelle's brilliance is shining through. She is very patient about America. Her stories are very convincing, and her performance is superb. I highly recommend this book.

Loved this book

This was great. Totally agree with Mrs Malkin when she talks about how mad it made her when she heard "You did not build that" from Obama. I was furious, it really goes to show how this progressive liberal movement just wants to expand government to stay in power. This book brings to light the history of successful people and what hard work with taking advantage of opportunities can really bring to the American Dream. Thank you for writing this!
