To really understand the history of business in America, he argues, we must understand the intertwining dynamics of social and business values.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a history spanning over three hundred years, Buder examines the enveloping expansion of the market economy, the laggardly use of government to modify or control market forces, the rise of consumerism, the shifting role of small business, and much more. He concludes with the explosive development of business in the 1990s and its aftermath of crises and scandals. Along the way, he analyzes the ways American social values foster an entrepreneurial ethos and why the identification of change with progress provides a distinctive and provocative theme in American life. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuder studies American business as not only an engine of wealth accumulation but also an important generator and reflector of American values. \u003ci\u003eCapitalizing on Change\u003c\/i\u003e is the first full-length business history in recent years to make this relationship clear. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanley Buder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1469654229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781469654225\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 556\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.24d","brand":"Stanley Buder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043940004095,"sku":"9781469654225","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_af7377f1-55b7-4052-a738-e03db1ce7831.jpg?v=1684970005","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/capitalizing-on-change-stanley-buder-9781469654225","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
