{"product_id":"early-merchant-families-of-sydney-janette-holcomb-9781783081257","title":"Early Merchant Families of Sydney: Speculation and Risk Management on the Fringes of Empire","description":"Establishing business enterprise in a tiny, remote penal settlement appears to defy the principles of sustainable demand and supply. Yet early Sydney attracted a number of business entrepreneurs, including Campbell, Riley and Walker. If the development of private enterprise in early colonial Australia is counterintuitive, an understanding of its rationale, nature and risk strategies is the more imperative. This book traces the development of private enterprise in Australia through a study of the antecedents, connections and commercial activities of early Sydney merchants.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janette Holcomb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1783081252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783081257\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthem Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d","brand":"Janette Holcomb","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48437042249983,"sku":"9781783081257","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_792212df-7e9b-4cce-9508-2221a24e9829.jpg?v=1777159471","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/early-merchant-families-of-sydney-janette-holcomb-9781783081257","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
