The rise of America from a colonial outpost to one of the world's
most sophisticated and productive economies was facilitated by the
establishment of a variety of economic enterprises pursued within
the framework of laws and institutions that set the rules for their
organization and operation. To better understand the historical
processes central to American economic development, Enterprising
America brings together contributors who address the economic
behavior of American firms and financial institutions-and the
associated legal institutions that shaped their behavior-throughout
the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Collectively, the
contributions provide an account of the ways in which businesses,
banks, and credit markets promoted America's extraordinary economic
growth. Among the topics that emerge are the rise of incorporation
and its connection to factory production in manufacturing, the
organization and operation of large cotton plantations in
comparison with factories, the regulation and governance of banks,
the transportation revolution's influence on bank stability and
survival, and the emergence of long-distance credit in the context
of an economy that was growing rapidly and becoming increasingly
integrated across space.
