Description and Table of Contents
Description
Originally published in 1933, this book presents a guide to the interrelationship between business and economics by the renowned economist and historian Sir Henry Penson (1864-1955). The text was written with a twofold purpose in mind: 'to present a kind of economic background for a picture of business life, and to fill in the details of the picture by describing something of the machinery by which that business life is carried on'. A practical perspective is maintained throughout, although historical information on various business institutions is also provided. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the relationship between economics and business.
