This innovative handbook of business history combines economic theory with empirical evidence to chart the development of business activity over the past two hundred years in Britain, the United States, Japan, and Australia.
Each chapter addresses a current issue, introduces theories to illuminate the topic, and examines historical evidence and relevant controversies.
Within the book, the reader will find case studies, original documents, images, charts, statistical tables, and suggestions for further study.
