The American companies that built ordinary life — and what happened to them. Zenith. Kodak. Montgomery Ward. Howard Johnson's. A&P. Britannica. Names your parents said every week and nobody says anymore. Each one collapsed for a reason that made complete sense at the time. Every video is one argument, not a timeline. What the company actually sold — which is usually not what it thought it was selling — the decision that looked right and wasn't, and what it cost. Researched from primary sources. Where the record is unclear, I say so. European companies too, when the story earns it: Nokia, Philips, Lego, Ferrari. New documentary every week. [email protected]
