Margaret's talk, "Billionaires of the American West: From the Big Four To Big Tech" will be held on Thursday, May 18, 2023, and is co-hosted by the Bill Lane Center and the Stanford Department of History. The American West has produced enormous business empires and personal fortunes with outsized influence on American culture, economy, and politics, from the Gilded Age to the present day.
