Description

Explore a profound inquiry into the economic landscape of the twentieth century with Absentee Ownership: Business Enterprise in Recent Times - The Case of America. Published by Routledge, this work examines how absentee ownership functions as a controlling interest in the lives of civilized men and shapes the affairs of nations both at home and abroad. Based on the theories of Thorstein Veblen, this book examines the economic forces that guide global conduct. It offers a deep look into how these interests drive major historical events, including the analysis of how World War I arose from a conflict of absentee interests and how peace negotiations were structured to stabilize them. This text serves as a detailed study for those interested in economic history and the evolution of business structures. Part I provides a summary description of the economic situation as it has taken shape, offering a foundation for understanding the complex relationship between ownership and global stability.
