GOVERNMENT AND BUSINESS

The International Library of Critical Writings in Business History series

Edited by Steven Tolliday, Professor of Economic History, Leeds University Business School, UK

This title takes an international and comparative approach to the crucial relationship between business and government, drawing on studies of developing countries, advanced capitalist economies and the relationship between business and imperialism. The first section looks at the role of government in promoting or slowing business development and in shaping the structures of business enterprise in countries including Japan, Germany, the US, Brazil, India. The second part looks at the interaction between government and the individual enterprise, considering both the impact of government on corporate strategies, on patterns of competition and the interaction of business and national politics in such contexts as depression, war, fascism and decolonization.

‘As with others in the series it brings together in an accessible and beneficial form a diversity of material on a broad theme.’
