Family Capitalism: Wendels, Hani els, Falcks and the Continental European Model

摘要

This is an ambitious book by Harold James, for many reasons. First, it is a detailed reconstruction of the history of three of the most important European dynasties in the steel industry, over two hundred years. The research is based on a vast array of sources, primary and secondary, and succeeds in giving a complete account of the complex and dynamic relationships between the stories of the families and those of the three business groups from the first industrial revolution to the present times. Second, the story told here is a comparative one.
