Recensioner i media

'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 history. It will deservedly become the basic introductory reading for any modern business history course.' Leslie Hannah, Business History
