Victorine Elizabeth du Pont, the first child of Eleuthère Irénée du Pont and his wife Sophie, was seven years old when her family emigrated to America, where her father established the humble beginnings of what would become a corporate giant. Through correspondence with friends and relatives from the ages of eight to sixty-eight, Victorine unwittingly chronicled the first sixty years of the du Pont saga in America. As she recovered from personal tragedy, she became first tutor of her siblings and relations.  Leonard C. Spitale's biography Victorine Du Pont: The Force Behind the Family (U Delaware Press, 2022) makes the case that Victorine has had the broadest—and most enduring—influence within the entire du Pont family of any family member. The intellectual heir of her venerable grandfather, Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours, although Victorine grew up in an age where women's opportunities were limited, her pioneering efforts in education, medicine, and religion transformed an entire millworkers' community.

The Economics of the Empire State Building with Jason Barr

The tallest building of its day opened as the Great Depression really began to squeeze the American economy. Was the Empire State Building a gigantic folly perpetrated by men with sky-scraping egos? Folks in the 1930s thought so, calling the monument the “Empty State Building,” because so little of its space had been rented. Yet, when viewed from the vantage of the twenty-first century through the lens of archival documents, the Empire State Building resolves into an economically and culturally successful investment made by people with enormous fortunes motivated both by egotism and broad vision. Economist Jason Barr, professor at Rutgers University - Newark, dug into the records of John J. Raskob and Pierre Samuel du Pont records held by the Hagley Library to uncover an insider's story of the Empire State Building. Conceived by Raskob, and backed by du Pont, the project launched in 1929, weeks before the stock market crash, and opened for business in 1931, after a record-setting rapid construction. While the building did sit mostly empty until the 1940s, it nevertheless generated a return, especially through charging admission to the observation deck. This invitation for the public to experience the building characterized the Empire State Building legacy, which has grown to influence city builders the word over.

Historias de la economía
La historia de DuPont, entre la pólvora, la contabilidad y las polémicas

Historias de la economía

La historia de Estados Unidos no podría entenderse sin DuPont. Tampoco podría entenderse el concepto del sueño americano. Porque la historia de la compañía, nacida hace más de 200 años, está intimamente ligada a los grandes eventos que han definido a la sociedad norteamericana.Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours, un hugonote nacido en París en 1739, era un ambicioso economista, editor y político, cercano a la corte de Luis XVI, gracias a sus escritos y sus ideas sobre libre comercio. El rey le dio diferentes cargos, y contó con él para negociar el Tratado de París, por el que Inglaterra reconoció la independencia de Estados Unidos. En un primer momento, apoyó la revolución francesa, pero acabó defendiendo físicamente a Luis XVI y a Maria Antonieta durante el asalto a Tullerías. Fue condenado a la guillotina, pero se libró por la caída de Roberpierre. Emigró a Estados Unidos en 1799.Allí pudo aprovechar los contactos que había hecho durante la negociación del Tratado de París, sobre todo con Thomas Jefferson. Pero el protagonista de la compañía que lleva su apellido no es él, sino su hijo, Éleuthère Irénée, que fundó E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company en 1802. Se lanzó cuando, estando de caza, se dio cuenta de que el mercado de la polvora, cara y de mala calidad, ofrecía gran potencial.Con capital francés y maquinaria importada de Europa, creó la primera fábrica, que producía polvora de tal calidad que logró grandes ventas desde el primer momento. Además, aprovechando la cercanía familiar con el Gobierno, comienza a venderle pólvora al ejército. Con el estallido de la guerra de 1812, las ventas se multiplican. A mediados del siglo XIX ya era la mayor proveedora de pólvora del país, gracias, en parte, a la fiebre del oro, las guerras contra los indios en la expansión hacia el Oeste, y los conflictos en los que se implica Estados Unidos. En la Guerra Civil, DuPont ya suministraba la mitad de la pólvora del ejército de la Unión.Pero el gran salto se produce con el cambio de siglo. A comienzos del XX dejan de centrarse solo en las actividades bélicas (aunque un acuerdo para fabricar y distribuir dinamita dispara sus ventas), y se expanden a nuevos sectores, creando dos laboratorios pioneros en investigación, que desarrollan nuevos productos como la celulosa o la laca. También comenzó a fabricar plásticos de nitrocelulosa, y se hizo con varias empresas para agregar nuevas líneas de productos como colorantes, pinturas, ácidos o químicos pesados.En los años 20 empiezan a apostar por el desarrollo de polímeros, un esfuerzo del que surgen algunos de los productos y patentes más importantes de su historia, como el nylon, el neopreno, el plexiglas o el teflón.También se introduce en la industria automovilística, al hacerse con un importante paquete de acciones de General Motors. Pierre du Pont llegó a presidir la compañía, hasta llevarla al liderazgo mundial. Tuvo que vender su participación por las leyes antimonopolio.Pero lo más relevante de la relación entre DuPont y General Motors tiene que ver con la contabilidad. Uno de los comerciales emitió un informe interno en el que proponía una fórmula sobre el retorno de la inversión, que aún hoy se conoce como Fórmula DuPont, y que con el tiempo se ha convertido en el famoso ROE, o retorno sobre el capital. Esta fórmula supuso un paso de gigante en la evolución de las empresas, que solo medían ventas y costes, sentando las bases de la gestión moderna.A pesar de la diversificación, los esfuerzos bélicos seguían siendo clave para la compañía. No obstante, las guerras era un campo de pruebas para sus nuevos productos. Eran proveedores para EEUU de productos para ruedas, paracaídas... y, por supuesto, de pólvora. Además, durante aquella época, participan en el Proyecto Manhattan para el desarrollo de la bomba atómica, con la construcción de instalaciones.El siguiente gran paso de la compañía se produce en los años 80, cuando entra en el negocio del petróleo, con la compra de Conoco. Aquella operación, que se convirtió entonces en la mayor fusión de la historia, aseguraba el acceso de DuPont al suministro de petróleo, imprescindible para elaborar sus productos. Fue clave, por ejemplo, para el lanzamiento de sus alfombras resistentes a las manchas, que se convirtieron en las más vendidas de Estados Unidos.En 1999, DuPont vendió su participación en Conoco, y entró en una nueva época empresarial, con la compra de una productora de semillas híbridas de maiz, convirtiéndose en una de las mayores productoras de plantas híbridas y modificadas genéticamente del mundo.En los primeros años del siglo XX vende o escinde algunos de sus principales negocios.La fusión con Dow Chemical Company, la otra gran química de Estados Unidos, fue el último gran cambio. El proceso se completa en 2017, y da lugar a una nueva empresa, valorada en 130.000 millones de dólares. El consejo de administración de ambas compañías decide separar el grupo en tres empresas independientes cotizadas en bolsa, cada una especializada en un campo: : una empresa de agricultura, llamada Corteva; una de ciencia de materiales, plásticos y otros químicos, que es Dow; y otra para los productos especializados, que es DuPont. Esta última incluye todo lo relacionado con la nutrición, la salud, la electrónica, las comunicaciones, y la seguridad y protección. En una historia de más de 200 años, DuPont no ha estado libre de polémicas. La más importante seguramente sea la del C-8, un producto utilizado para obtener teflón, y por la que fue denunciado por ocultar sus efectos: es un material cancerígeno, que puede provocar malfornaciones en el embarazo y otros problemas sanitarios. Tuvo que pagar millones de dólares en multas y compensaciones.También fue, junto a General Motors, la creadora y máxima productora de los CFC, una familia de sustancias dañinas para la capa de ozono. También tuvieron que enfrentarse a otra polémica por las presiones que ejercieron sobre una editorial para evitar la distribución de un libro ('Dupont, tras el telón del nylon'), que criticaba el papel de la familia Du Pont en la sociedad americana. Además de numerosas acusaciones a lo largo de la historia de fijación de precios en diferentes productos.Casi 220 años después, DuPont mantiene la sede en Wilmington, el mismo lugar en el que fue fundada. Da trabajo a casi 100.000 personas en todo el mundo, gran parte de ellos científicos e ingenieros. Y ha sido clave en la historia empresarial, para bien, y para mal.

Father & Sons: How the du Pont Family Went into Business, with Roma Beaufret

Coming to America to start a new life is filled with challenges, even for the wealthy and well-connected. When the du Pont family crossed the Atlantic, they sought a new beginning in a land of opportunity. Burdened by sibling rivalries and divergent ideas about how best to make their fortune, the family compensated with dedication to one another and a boatload of capital invested by social and economic elites in France. Once landed, the du Ponts set to work figuring out how to remake themselves into Americans, and how to return a profit. In this episode of Stories from the Stacks, Roma Beaufret, master’s student at L'École Normale Supérieure de Lyon, discusses the early history of the du Pont family’s business ventures. With a focus on the relationship between business practice and family intimacy, Beaufret seeks to understand the ways the du Ponts brought new ideals of economic and scientific rationality with them to America, and how they worked together to put them into practice. Using Hagley Library collections, including the Winterthur manuscript collection of du Pont family records, Beaufret discovered that the du Pont family suffered numerous reversals of fortune before stumbling upon a business plan that could turn a profit. Pierre Samuel wanted to acquire land and found a settler colony. The speculation lost a fortune. Victor Marie wanted to serve commercial links between France and North America, but failed to make it work. Finally, Eleuthere Irene applied his scientific education to the problem, and began manufacturing gunpowder in mills on the Brandywine River. When the young company won a contract to sell powder to the U.S. government, thanks in part to friendly relations between the du Ponts and noted Francophile Thomas Jefferson, the family began to enjoy a return on their effort, and to repay their outstanding debts.
