Ciara‘Whenever George Pullman ventured out, he had to be guarded by detectives armed with shotguns. When he died, his family were so afraid that former employees might desecrate his grave that his coffin was sealed into a triple reinforced block of steel and concrete.’
The death of a reviled American health insurance CEO today reminded me of the death of a reviled American industrialist 127 years ago. Such lives, lives lived ruining other people’s lives for money.
