The Dynamics of Big Business
Throughout the Twentieth Century, big business has been a basic institution. Large corporations have provided a fundamental contribution to the wealth of nations and, at the same time, have had a remarkable impact on the political and social systems within which they have operated. It is difficult to understand the development of the most advanced economies if we do not consider the specific evolution of big business in every national case. On the other hand, it is not possible to explain the shape and behavior of big business without considering its development as part of the history of the country in which they operate. The largest US, German, British and French firms were key actors in fa...
Family Capitalism
This history of three powerful family firms located in different European countries takes place over a period of more than two hundred years. The interplay and the changing social and legal arrangements of the families shaped the development of a European capitalism quite different from the Anglo-American variety. Qualifying claims by Alfred Chandler and David Landes that family firms tend to be dysfunctional, Harold James shows how and why these steel and engineering firms were successful over long periods of time. Indeed, he sees the family enterprise as particularly conducive to managing risk during periods of upheaval and uncertainty when both states and markets are disturbed. He also id...

The Power of Corporate Networks
Corporate networks, the links between companies and their leaders, reflect a country’s economic organization and its corporate governance system. Most research on corporate networks focuses on individual countries or particular time periods, however, making fruitful comparisons over longer periods of time difficult. This book provides a unique long-term analysis of the rise, consolidation, decline, and occasional re-emergence of these networks in fourteen countries across North and South America, Europe, and Asia in the 20th and early 21st centuries. In this volume, the editors bring together the most internationally well-known specialists to investigate the long-term development of corporate networks. Using a combination of quantitative and qualitative research approaches, the authors describe the main developments and changes in the corporate network over time by focusing on important network indicators in benchmark years, and identify historical explanations for these developments. This unique, long-term perspective allows readers insight into how and why national corporate networks have evolved over time.

Alchemy Moneta, Valore, Rapporto tra le Parti
che abbiamo in tasca? Partendo da queste domande, l’autore conduce un’indagine appassionante con rigore metodologico, approccio multidisciplinare (economico, giuridico, storico, filosofico, sociologico, antropologico, psicologico, filologico) ed ironia fulminante. Per risolvere il cosiddetto “enigma della moneta” l’auore affronta, con coraggio, “l’enigma dell’uomo”. Si raggiungono risultati quantomeno poco ortodossi, che inducono il lettore a pensare aprendo la mente. L’esposizione agile e didascalica consente un’agevole lettura, riservando alle note l’approfondimento analitico dei vari profili di indagine trattati. Individuate le cause prime degli aspetti problematici, si suggeriscono alcune soluzioni pratiche e pragmatiche. Una ricerca fuori dal comune, profonda e coinvolgente, destinata a lasciare il segno.
