Review Rise of Big Business (Closed in Japan - UPS Series: Origins of Business Economics) / Routledge:From the Industrial Revolution onwards, big business has been an integral part of the economic landscape. This set collects the most important early responses by economists to the big business phenomenon, ranging from enthusiastic endorsements of mass production to an immense concern about trusts and monopolies. It addresses issues such as cartels, trusts, mergers, acquisitions and rationalizations, and charts the development of the theory of the firm from Marshall to Coase. These writings show that productivity differences in mass production industries were larger, and methods of corporate organization leaner and more efficient than is commonly believed-the major entrepreneurial weakness was a failure to appreciate the full commercial significance of new technologies.
