For over 150 years, the New York Times has been the United
States' newspaper of record. With unmatched breadth, depth,
and quality of reporting, its coverage is consistently
authoritative and absorbing.
This unique collection
of the Times' most fascinating and relevant articles about
business opens a compelling window onto how one of the most
powerful economies in human history came to be, including
the men and women who have helped create it. Introduced and
narrated by Harvard Business School historian Nancy Koehn,
The Story of American Business walks you through content
ranging from feature stories to in-depth news analysis to
obituaries, spanning from the 1850s to today.
Exploring the people, trends, and pivotal events
that have shaped business in America, Koehn has organized
the book around a number of important themes,
including:
The rise of big business?the advent of
mass production, a national market, and the modern U.S.
economy
Wall Street-its origins, key players,
influence, and evolution
Leadership-from robber barons
to corporate rock stars
And much more-including the
growth of a consumer society, changing women's roles,
development of the labor movement, the rise of the service
economy, and the impact of corporate
scandals
Absorbing and thought-provoking, The Story
of American Business provides a much-needed glimpse into our
past and a vital lens for understanding our future.
