Monaghan
by Joseph Pearce, Tan Books, £23
Before I read this biography I would not have thought that the life of the man who built the Domino’s Pizza empire would have merited much attention. I was wrong.
Tom Monaghan, the subject of Joseph Pearce’s intriguing new book, shows what is possible when a man starts a huge business, making millions of dollars in the process, and then decides to dedicate his fortune to good works. But not just any good works and not simply “virtue-signalling” to the world about how philanthropic he is. As Pearce comments, “Few people have done more to shape the Church in the US in the past 30 years than Tom Monaghan.”
