Abstract:  Sherwood Smith, chairman of the board of Carolina Power and Light (CP&L) reflects on the energy business, and business in general, in North Carolina from the 1960s to the late 1990s. As he moves from describing his role at CP&L to reflections on the wider economic life of North Carolina, Smith produces a picture of a state dedicated to economic growth and the intellectual and physical infrastructure to encourage it.
