The Story of American Business is a unique collection of the Times' most fascinating and relevant articles about business opens a compelling window onto how one of the most powerful economies in human history came to be, including the men and women who have helped create it. Introduced and narrated by Harvard Business School historian Nancy Koehn, The Story of American Business walks you through content ranging from feature stories to in-depth news analysis to obituaries, spanning from the 1850s to today.
Exploring the people, trends, and pivotal events that have shaped business in America, Koehn has organized the book around a number of important themes, including:

And much more-including the growth of a consumer society, changing women's roles, development of the labor movement, the rise of the service economy, and the impact of corporate scandals
