About this item
Keele University Press, Staffordshire, 1996. Black Board. Book Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 6 1/2" x 9 1/4".
The author examines the competitiveness of British Industry, the political developments of the period and major debates on British entrepreneurialism at the beginning of the twentieth century. This is to support his argument that, having founded an empire of some 4,000 employees, Lord Ashton deserves the same recognition as that usually accorded to his better-known contemporary, W.H. Lever.
288 pp including 41 maps and illustrations. The dust jacket is intact and has only light surface wear and bumping. The binding is tight, the boards only slightly bumped on the spine and the gilt lettering is still bright. The text and cut edges are very clean and unmarked.
