What can be learned from the long-term championship performances of leading business firms in each country? How important were specific innovations by individual entrepreneurs? And in the end, what is the true nature of capitalist development?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Thomas K. McCraw and his coauthors present penetrating answers to these questions. \u003ci\u003eCreating Modern Capitalism\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to explain for a broad audience the interconnections among technological innovation, management science, the power of entrepreneurship, and national economic growth. The authors approach each question from a comparative framework and with a unique triple focus on national economic systems, particular companies, and individual business leaders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbove all, the book focuses on how specific entrepreneurs influenced the economic success of their countries: Josiah Wedgwood and Henry Royce in Britain; August Thyssen and Georg von Siemens in Germany; Henry Ford, Alfred Sloan, and the two Thomas J. Watsons in the United States; Sakichi Toyoda, Masatoshi Ito, and Toshifumi Suzuki in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe product of a three-year collaborative effort at the Harvard Business School, the book combines cutting-edge scholarship with a finely tuned sense of the art of management. It will engage general readers as well as those with a special interest in entrepreneurship and the evolution of national business systems.\u003c\/p\u003e Mansel G. Blackford - Business History Review \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCreating Modern Capitalism\u003c\/i\u003e works well in the classroom. The cases raise important issues about the history of global business, and they stimulate students to think about world business today.
