A Concise History of Business in Canada Taylor, Graham D. and Baskerville, Peter A.

Product Description Drawing on a generation of new scholarship the authors of this book trace the history of business institutions in Canada, and the complex web of trade, investment, technology, and ideas that connect Canadian business development to the evolution of capitalism in Europe and North America over the past 500 years. Within this framework the authors explore the role of entrepreneurs, financial promoters, politicians, government bureaucrats, small businesses, and multinational corporations in shaping a distinctive Canadian business system. Review "It's a dense book, but an authoritative resource to have on the shelves. It will also reward persistent readers with a surprisingly colourful historical journey."
