This important collection of new surveys by leading scholars represents an essential state of the art summary and reflection on the often neglected major contribution of entrepreneurs and firms to the globalisation of business and provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of global business in historical perspective, notably on the role of institutions and organisational forms. -Robert Read, Lancaster University Management School, UK This is a terrific contribution to the broad field of analytical business history, focused on the key actors who have created the global economy. A must read for economists, political scientists, sociologists and strategy scholars with an interest in how international business actually functions. -Alain Verbeke, Editor-in-Chief, Journal of International Business Studies A major contribution to the history of globalization and capitalism, the Makers of Global Business brings together more than fifty scholars, writing on broad political and social issues as well as institutional and technological ones-from the Great Divergence and the histories of gender and race in global entrepreneurship, to value chains and state-owned enterprise. It is a significant and notable achievement that tells the story of how firms helped build the modern global economy. - Walter A. Friedman, Harvard Business School, US
