I might have to check out some of those books. I'm not much on economic history, but the history of how wealth is used is interesting to me.

That's what makes these books very readable. It's about people who amassed amazing wealth, and how they did it. And about their lives, etc. Less insightful, no doubt, than a hard core economics 101 book, but who can read that for pleasure?
Didn't know those two founders were that rich either.
