Garet Garrett
In Business, influential journalist and economic thinker Garet Garrett traces the extraordinary development of American commerce from the colonial era to the rise of corporations, mass production, modern finance, and big business.
Garrett examines the forces that made American business unique: an appetite for expansion, technological innovation, abundant resources, railroads, immigration, credit, and an almost relentless pursuit of growth. He explores how these forces created enormous wealth while fundamentally changing the relationship between individuals, corporations, government, and society.
From the emergence of nationwide transportation networks and mass production to the rise of Wall Street, corporate power, consumer culture, and an economy increasingly dependent upon credit, Garrett presents business as neither inherently good nor evil, but as a powerful system driven by human ambition and the pursuit of profit.
Originally published in 1922, Business offers a fascinating contemporary perspective on the birth of modern American capitalism—and raises questions about corporate responsibility, economic power, overproduction, speculation, and the purpose of business that remain remarkably relevant today.
Narrated by John Riddle, this audiobook brings Garrett's provocative examination of American enterprise to a new generation of listeners.
