4.0 out of 5 stars I don't agree with all its conclusions, but, April 8, 2000
By A Customer
...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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential, April 10, 2008
This is a book that every person interested in entrepreneurial history should read. Directed, among others, by Alfred Chandler, the father of the discipline as it is now, it provides an overview of the different cultural and institutional backgrounds that make possible -or don't- entrepreneurship in many countries.
