电应该像汽车一样普及。——塞缪尔·英萨尔 真正让美国家庭不再靠点蜡烛照明的人,不是爱迪生。当时,电只是富豪才消费得起的奢侈品。爱迪生的得力助手,来自英国的送奶工之子塞缪尔·英萨尔将爱迪生的理念付诸实践,推广中央电力系统,创建广泛覆盖的城市供电网,通过自然垄断降低用电成本,真正让电在平凡家庭中得到普及,彻底改变了人类的生活方式。 英萨尔的经历无疑是“美国梦”式的奋斗史:他白手起家,凭着天赋在商界大显身手,与政界回旋游刃有余,铸造起庞大的电力商业帝国,成为辉煌一时的电力大亨,身价一度超过1.5亿美元(相当于今天的17亿美元)。然而大萧条让他失去了一切,成为无数人憎恨的对象。 英萨尔掀起的电气革命开启了消费时代,其商业帝国的崩溃是美国当时规模的企业破产案件,直接促成了一系列影响至今的证券监管法律。这位企业家被时运毁了名誉,并未受到历史善待;他的遗产却早已扎根,泽被后世。
