The Growth of Big Business in the United States and Western Europe, 18501939 by Christopher J Schmitz
This book provides the first introductory, comparative account of the rise of giant business corporations in America and Europe in the century before the Second World War. It discusses the evolution of firms like Ford, Exxon, Unilever and Siemens, as well as introducing the reader to the major explanations that have been advanced by historians and economists in order to account for these developments in the global economic order.
'The author has brilliantly fulfilled his brief of writing a critical but non-partisan survey for students wishing to bring themselves up to date with developments in internationally comparative business historyIt will deservedly become the basic introductory reading for any modern business history course.' Leslie Hannah, Business History
'Schmitz covers much of the ground required by business history students and their tutors ... he has certainly written a workmanlike and user friendly review of the current literature for students and teachers alike.' Terry Gourvish, Economic History Review
