We all know the classic American story about the evil capitalist – like
Citizen Kane.
He bullies his way to the top, crushes his rivals and loses all human decency along the way.
This story is the opposite of that story.
This is the story of the good capitalist, Milton S. Hershey, of Hershey candy bar fame, who looked out for his employees and founded two thriving company towns, one in Pennsylvania and the other on the island of Cuba.
