In 1961, Charles Koch joined his father’s Wichita-based company, then valued at $21 million. Six years later, following his father’s death, he was named chairman of the board and CEO of Koch Industries, Inc. Today, Koch Industries’ estimated worth is $100 billion — making it one of the largest private companies in the world. Koch exceeds the S&P 500’s five-decade growth by 27-fold, and plans to double its value on average every six years. What does this company do and why is it so remarkably profitable? The answers lie in GOOD PROFIT: How Creating Value for Others Built One of the World’s Most Successful Companies.
“Charles Koch is a genuine patriot, and his lifelong mission is to make America as strong and free as she can be. He believes the principles of economic opportunity that have guided America are worth protecting. This book will teach us how.”
— (Papa) John Schnatter, CEO, Papa John’s Pizza
In Good Profit, Charles Koch explains how his freedom-focused philosophy laid the foundation for his company’s tremendous success.

Koch believes that free societies enjoy the greatest prosperity when they are based on respect for what people value.
