No time to read? Get the main key insights from this summary of Daniel Schulman’s Sons of Wichita in just a short listen.
A few key insights from Chapter 1:
- Fred, the father of the Koch brothers, was a pioneer in the oil industry. He established Winkler-Koch by buying a one-third stake in an engineering firm in Wichita in 1925. The company later grew into Koch Industries.
- Fred and Mary Koch were wed in 1933, and their first son Frederick was born. In 1935, a second son, Charles, followed. In 1940, Mary gave birth to the last of her children, fraternal twins David and Bill.
- Although Fred’s investment had grown by then, he never wanted his children to sense that they were privileged. He gave them no money other than an allowance for completing their chores. He never allowed them any luxuries, like having a television.
- Fred immersed his children in manual labor because he wanted to make sure that they grew up to be men. He gave them history lessons at the dinner table.
