I am teaching a course to undergraduates in the spring titled "The History of American Business." My idea is to break it up into studying a few cases such as: *The transformation of the shoe industry in nineteenth century Lynn, Mass.(Blewett) * The history of railroads (Chandler). My questions to the lists are: 1. Does anyone know of a good general textbook for undergrads that is not strictly focussed on a neoclassical history of the USA? 2. Other teachers have used the following texts: "The Economics of Industrial Organization" by William G. Shepherd and "The Structure of American Industry" by Walther Adams. Does anyone know anything about the texts? The school book store and department did not have copies of either, even though they'd been used recently. reply to maggie coleman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks.
