'Each essay provides a wealth of detail. [..] These essays draw on existing research, in several cases making extensive use of material that is not available in English, as well as on contemporary sources. The accessible style of the essays will ensure that they are readily appreciated by undergraduates.' - The Economic History Review'This is a book of very good parts, which combine to make an even stronger whole. It has to be admitted that students are unlikely to be buying this in great numbers, but their tutors will be adding it to the reading lists.' - Business History Reviews, 1999'Each essay provides a wealth of detail.
