520 1 $a"With its familiar white classical figures against a pale-blue background, Wedgwood has been one of the most recognizable brand names in the world for more than two hundred years - the epitome of quality and luxury - and the Enlightenment's most remarkable success story." "Born into a family of struggling potters, Josiah Wedgwood amassed a fortune that, at his death in 1795, was valued at the equivalent of $3.4 billion in today's dollars and helmed an empire that stretched from England to Russia to the United States. As a member of the famous Lunar Society, whose members included James Watt, Joseph Priestley, and Erasmus Darwin, he combined rationality with bold experimentation, revolutionizing the business model of his time with a series of innovations that have continued to this day." "The story of how phenomenal wealth affected the lives of a family and of the turbulent political climate that threatened their very livelihood, this portrait of a pioneer of commercial culture is sure to be a hit with loyal collectors and the business market alike."--BOOK JACKET.
