Japan and Texas, 1867 to 1999. A carpenter's son in Shizuoka builds a loom that stops itself, sells the foreign rights to a Lancashire firm, and hands the money to his son with an instruction. On the Chita peninsula a sake house in its fifteenth generation raises an eldest son who will not take it. In Fort Worth and Dallas, men who found oil in the 1930s put the proceeds into trusts for children who had never been poor. This is an account of what happens to a fortune at the moment the person who made it dies: the loom money that became an automobile company, the brewery that lost its heir, a corner in silver, a bankruptcy, and the one Texas family that came out of it richer. Covers Toyoda Sakichi; Toyoda Kiichirō; Morita Akio; Ibuka Masaru; William Alvin Moncrief; Haroldson Lafayette Hunt; Clinton Williams Murchison; Sid Richardson; Hugh Roy Cullen; and Toyota Motor Co., Ltd.
