A good site for business ideas that have grown in the US and around the world .
American Business History - has some great background articles on how and why of many things .
One other I just finished reading was on Automotive Paint - Ford and any color as long as it's black - How GM with ownership as part of DUPONT outsold ford by offering a special pain that dried faster and could be colored in many different pigments .

Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do? You stop drinking and get off the carousel.
