Business and the Shop Floor

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  12 September 2008

Extract

Historians of Europe need to take into account these two new books of general business history, as they throw new light on the European economy and society. Their approach, however, is different: Chandler, an historian of America, ventures into two European countries; Lazonick, an historian of Britain, now deals also with the US; Chandler's ambitions are to attempt a comparative history of industrial organisations, whereas Lazonick focuses on the workplace.
