the man nobody knows
it was suggested that the book was written as "an apology for big business"; however, in his 2005 biography of barton, "the man everybody knew: bruce barton and the making of modern america", richard m. fried maintains that barton was no apologist — his primary motive for writing was religion.









































regardless of his motives for publication, barton found himself the object of humour by some, and his book was lampooned by radio, magazines and in movies.
