Hugh McCulloch built a career in business at a period when the rules of commerce were themselves changing.
The record lists Hugh McCulloch as American financier and politician (1808–1895).
Hugh McCulloch was born at York County in 1808. His recorded nationality is United States. He was educated at Bowdoin College.

Enterprises outlive their founders or they do not, and that is the whole test.
That the business was built from United States shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.
