Three companies meet the date the money runs out, decades apart and on two continents. General Motors, in the fall of 1920, carries inventory it cannot sell and a founder who has pledged his stock to brokers. Beech Aircraft, in August 1945, watches a hundred and twenty-two million dollars of war orders vanish in a week, and buries its founder five years later. Honda, in 1954, owes four hundred and fifty million yen for machine tools it cannot pay for. None of the three is saved by a good idea. Each is saved by somebody who waited: a bank, a supplier, a family, a rival's money. This is an account of what the arithmetic looked like from inside, before anyone had the instruments to see it. Covers William Crapo Durant, Alfred Sloan, Olive Ann Beech, Soichiro Honda, General Motors, Beech Aircraft, and Honda.
