Download or read book An Early Experiment in Industrial Organisation written by Eric Roll Baron Roll of Ipsden and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1968 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1968. This is an account of the Boulton-Watt partnership and adds another item to the now growing series of writings on the history of individual firms or individual pioneers of modern business. The choice of this particular firm is due to three facts: the great importance of the enterprise; the concentration in Birmingham of the bulk of its records (the completeness and state of preservation of which is almost unique), and the lack, notwithstanding the existence of several books on the subject, of any exhaustive history from the economist's standpoint of what must be regarded as the foremost engineering firm of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

Download or read book Acheson written by James Chace and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-06-30 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The highly acclaimed biography of one of the most important and controversial Secretaries of State of the twentieth century, this is an intimate portrait of the quintessential man of action who was vilified by the McCarthyites for being soft on communism, yet set in place the strategies and policies that won the Cold War and brought down the USSR. This is the authoritative biography of Dean Acheson, the most important and controversial secretary of state of the twentieth century. Drawing on Acheson family diaries and letters as well as revelations from Russian and Chinese archives, historian James Chace traces Acheson's remarkable life, from his days as a schoolboy at Groton and his carefree life at Yale to his work for President Franklin Roosevelt on international financial policy and his unique partnership with President Truman. It is an important and dramatic work of history chronicling the momentous decisions, events, and fascinating personalities of the most critical decades of American history.

Download or read book A Tangled Web written by William P. Bundy and published by Hill and Wang. This book was released on 1999-06-04 with total page 706 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An authoritative historical assessment of american foreign policy in a crucial postwar decade. William Bundy's magisterial book focuses on the controversial record of Richard Nixon's and Henry Kissinger's often overpraised foreign policy of 1969 to 1973, an era that has rightly been described as the hinge on which the last half of the century turned. Bundy's principled, clear-eyed assessment in effect pulls together all the major issues and events of the thirty-year span from the 1940s to the end of the Vietnam War, and makes it clear just how dangerous the consequences of Nixon and Kissinger's deceptive modus operandi were.

Download or read book The Color of Truth written by Kai Bird and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Pulitzer Prize–winning coauthor of American Prometheus—this biography of the Bundy Brothers inspired the Academy Award–winning film Oppenheimer. In this definitive biography of McGeorge Bundy and William Bundy, two of "the best and the brightest" who advised presidents about peace and war during the most dangerous years of the Cold War, Kai Bird pens a portrait of the fiercely patriotic, brilliant, and brazenly self-confident men who directed a steady escalation of a war they did not believe could be won. Drawing on seven years of research, nearly one hundred interviews, and scores of still-classified top secret documents in a masterful reevaluation of America's actions throughout the Cold War and Vietnam, The Color of Truth tells the tale of the anti-communist liberals who, despite their grave doubts about sending Americans to fight in Southeast Asia, became key architects of America's war in Vietnam. Like the bestselling The Wise Men, this dual biography is both an inside account of the making of US foreign policy in an era of nuclear weapons and a stunning group portrait of the heirs of the Wise Men—including Robert McNamara, George Ball, and Robert Kennedy—and the presidents they served.

Download or read book The Deutsche Bank and the Nazi Economic War against the Jews written by Harold James and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001-03-23 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Deutsche Bank, Germany's largest financial institution, played an important role in the expropriation of Jewish-owned enterprises during the Nazi dictatorship, both in the existing territories of Germany, and in the area seized by the German army during World War II. In this 2001 book Harold James uses new and previously unavailable materials, many from the bank's own archives, to examine policies which led to the eventual genocide of European Jews. How far did the realization of the vicious and destructive Nazi ideology depend on the acquiescence, the complicity, and the cupidity of existing economic institutions, and individuals? In response to the traditional view that business co-operation with the Nazi regime was motivated by profit, this book closely examines the behaviour of the bank and its individuals to suggest other motivations. No comparable study exists of a single company's involvement in the economic persecution of the Jews in Nazi Germany.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un ingénieur, Lodoïs Tavernier, avait compris, dès le début de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le rôle primordial joué par le charbon dans la force de frappe allemande. Les rapports et documents historiques qui en font état et furent la base de son combat sont présentés dans cet ouvrage. Début 1944, Lodoïs Tavernier devint président du Comité des experts du charbon pour le Comité interallié. Cinq mois plus tard, il remit son rapport officiel aux Alliés, expliquant l'importance capitale de la maitrîse du réservoir potentiel énorme de charbon que constituait la Ruhr allemande pour éviter tout nouveau conflit futur. A ses yeux, l'unique solution viable était de mettre sur pied une Régie de contrôle des productions de charbon, chapeautée par l'Union des pays y participant. Il s'agissait de la CECA, la Communauté Européenne du Charbon et de l'Acier, dont l'idée sera reprise en 1950 par Monet et Schuman. D'avril 1945 à mi-1947, Lodoïs Tavernier se battit pour faire passer cette idée, multipliant les conférences et envoyant des tirés à part à des chefs d'Etat, des ministres, des industriels et des scientifiques, communiquant sur les radios belges et françaises. De nombreux articles de presse en parlèrent. Par son idée et son combat, Lodoïs Tavernier apparaît comme le véritable Père de la CECA, instrument d'entente et d'unité qui valut à l'Union Européenne le Prix Nobel de la Paix en 2012.

Download or read book Saving Britain written by Will Hutton and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2018-06-07 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Britain's Brexit voters are right. They have been shamefully neglected. But the answer is to change Britain, not to leave Europe. This book sets out how we can radically improve the lives of people and communities shut out from prosperity. The EU, despite its frailties and strains, is a success story. The advantages of leaving are illusory: no gains in trade from deals with protectionist China and the United States can compensate for what is being lost in Europe. Britain is weakening a pillar of the world's diplomatic and trade order at the same time as weakening itself - an act of self-harm, especially when so many countries are retreating from democracy, free trade and progressive values. In Saving Britain Will Hutton and Andrew Adonis set out a bold plan to transform Britain and fight for Europe as a force for good at home and abroad.
