Big Business and the Wealth of Nations

Summary: I don't agree with all its conclusions, but
Review: ...I can't argue with thee diligence of the scholars who contributed to this volume.

Readers should be warned. If this is your first attempt at studying industrial history, it is difficult going. It is not really "economics" in the usual way. Nor is it history as you have usually read it.

It is a series of case studies about the industrial development of nations all over the world, aimed at supporting some very controversial theses about what does and what does not work toward that end.
