Creating Modern Capitalism by Thomas K Mccraw

Creating Modern Capitalism by Thomas K Mccraw

What explains the economic success of the U.S., Britain, Germany, and Japan? What can be learned from the performances of leading business firms? How important were specific innovations by individual entrepreneurs? What is the nature of capitalist development? McCraw and his coauthors present penetrating answers to these questions.

Few thinkers have inquired more deeply into the historical roots of big business and big government than Alfred Chandler of the Harvard Business SchoolHere, his student, a Pulitzer Prize winner, pulls together a variety of great stories into a cohesive whole—from Josiah Wedgwood to the two Watsons of IBM to the saga of 7-Eleven stores in the United States and Japan. -- David Warsh * Boston Globe *
This is by far the best textbook on comparative business history that has appeared to date, and it will no doubt be seized on eagerly by teachers in the field. -- Steven Tolliday * Business History *
Creating Modern Capitalism works well in the classroom. The cases raise important issues about the history of global business, and they stimulate students to think about world business today. I intend to continue assigning this book for the foreseeable future. -- Mansel G. Blackford * Business History Review *

Thomas K. McCraw was Straus Professor of Business History Emeritus at Harvard Business School and winner of the Pulitzer Prize for History.
