This book, first published in 2007, offers a bold new
interpretation of American business history during the formative
years 1870-1920, which mark the dawn of modern big business. It
focuses on four major revolutions that ushered in this new era:
those in power, transportation, communication, and organization.
Using the metaphor of America as an economic hothouse uniquely
suited to rapid economic growth during these years, it analyzes the
interplay of key factors such as entrepreneurial talent,
technology, land, natural resources, law, mass markets, and the
rise of cities. It also delineates the process that laid the
foundation for the modern era, in which virtually every human
activity became a business, and, in most cases, a big business. The
book also profiles numerous major entrepreneurs whose careers and
activities illustrate broader trends and themes. It utilizes a wide
variety of sources, including novels from the period, to produce a
lively narrative.
