Long-Michalke. Sugar provides a fascinating example of an
international commodity, and this book deals with the history both
of a multinational company and of the world sugar economy. It
describes the emergence, in the nineteenth century, of the two
family companies of Henry Tate and Abram Lyle. By 1914 they were
the largest and most prosperous sugar-refining businesses in the
British Empire. In 1921 they amalgamated and became after the
Second World War pre-eminent in the world sugar economy. The book's
final chapter covers the company's most recent acquisitions and
demonstrates the management strategy of Tate & Lyle in its
relations with the developed and developing worlds.
