Past, Present, and Future of the Business Historical Society
When I agreed to recount the story of the Business Historical Society, I naturally thought it was my own swan song that was expected. The occasion was presented to me as the probable closing of a period in the history of the Society and the opening of another day. On thinking over the events of the last twenty-five years, however, I have discovered a number of facts of larger issue and have had a chance to peer beneath the curtain of changing cir…

Behavior of Business Men in a Changing World
We must begin with a survey of the types of business which have existed throughout the known ages. In no other way can we obtain a perspective for understanding the present and for anticipating the future. In no other way can we become accustomed to the idea and the fact of eternal change, which is the life of society as of nature.That there ever was a pre-capitalistic stage may be doubted, though such a view has been maintained. If by capitalism…
A Great Indian Industrialist
Jamsetji Tata was once a merchant, like his father, but unlike his father he became a great industrialist. Instead of specializing in one huge concern, he spread out to establish many companies of high quality and strategic importance—the foundation of modern Industrial India. It was in part owing to his work that India was able recently to wage a war on the side of the Allies without much help from Britain

What is Capitalism in the Light of History
Do we know what capitalism means? Are we annoyed by what seems a change in the use of the term? How about some other words of high import, such as democracy, labor, people, religion, communism, fascism? How can we be scholars, journalists, politicians, or even intelligent voters without having a clear concept of these terms? Or is it just a matter of pedantry that I am insisting on? Perhaps the extreme points of view are expressed by the words “s…

War and Business
In the history of man there have been many occupations but none more important than war, business, and religion. We shall consider at length the course of the first two, without neglecting the third, during the period of the last 600 years
What Type of Business History Are You Writing
Someone may say that he has not yet learned what a business history is and therefore that he is in no position to consider the types of business history that may exist. Perhaps, however, it may help in grasping the essentials of business history if these types are set forth. Right at the beginning of this effort we should note that we have in mind the history of a business unit — a business man, a firm, or a company. To be sure, there are other a…
The Philosophy of the Business Man
Man has developed three types of explanation of phenomena. The oldest is deistic or theological. From earliest times man has explained happenings and situations by looking to outside powers, at first to many gods and later to one all-powerful deity. We still say, “God wills it,” “Thy will be done,” and “the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.” But, not later than the flowering of the Greek mind, a second type arose, namely, the metaphysical or …
Historical Background
When we read about “government control” in recent years and then reflect upon the old term “government regulation,” we wonder whether a change has occurred. We ask our friends and find that they feel that there is a difference between the old regulation and the new control, but they hesitate to state what the difference is. Then we sit down to wrestle with the problem. The exercise is not easy. Perhaps the historical approach will be helpful

Sir Andrew Freeport, a Merchant of London
Sir Andrew Freeport belonged to the same club as the better-known Sir Roger de Coverley. Sir Andrew was of the moneyed interest and a great sedentary merchant, while Sir Roger was the typical landed gentleman. Probably a hundred persons have heard of the gentleman to one person who knows about the merchant. But the two were alike in being the creation of Joseph Addison's imagination and in coming to light in the show-case window of The Spectator …
Shifts in Public Relations
1. What are public relations? We have social relations, industrial relations, private and even poor relations, but what are public relations? We have them like hives and chilblains, but should we admit the fact? Should we try to get rid of them? Indeed, we have had them for a long time, though the phrase is relatively new and has got into few dictionaries or encyclopedias. But, if these public relations are not really upstart conditions, then per…

An Old-Time Novel About Business
In 1855 the German journalist, novelist, and historian, Gustav Freytag, gave to the world his popular novel Soll und Haben ( Debit and Credit ). The scene of the story is Eastern Germany, where Germans, Poles, and Jews lived in conflict about the year 1848

Religion and Business
Various religions have been critical of the business man or even hostile to him. Christian writers have crudely called him the “rich man.” The Old Testament set the fashion, but not with a single voice. The New Testament is more emphatic, even if not uniformly opposed to enterprise, efficiency, and success
Regionalism and Nationalism
we experience a sense of satisfaction with the political community of which we are part. The ancient Egyptian and Roman, the citizen of the Catholic mediaeval world, probably felt much the same way. Yet what they accepted as permanent has changed, what they thought of as the highest good is now re garded as faulty. It does not seem extravagant to conclude that there are always elements of decay at work within the political tree at the same time t…
A New Interpretation of Economic Evolution
The Eastland Company in Prussia, 1579–1585
Very little is known about the early history of English mercantile venture into the far Eastland. Although some ambitious traders from this island steered their course through the Sound in the fourteenth century, or earlier, and in the fifteenth century seem to have aspired to some degree of common action, it remains true that, previous to the foundation of the Eastland Company in 1579, there was no important body of English merchants organised t…

An Old-Time Type of Merchant
The recent accession of the Hancock papers to The Business Historical Society collection recalls a now forgotten type of merchant once prevailing in Europe and America. He was sometimes called the merchant prince; certainly he represents the highest class of business man from at least the thirteenth to the early nineteenth century. Sometimes he operated alone; sometimes with his brothers or cousins in the form of a family partnership

The Value of Research to Business
When this subject was presented to me it appeared quite clearly as a challenge. When I first became interested in the history of business, it was as a study somewhat divorced from the ordinary routine of affairs. I was a student of economic history who had become convinced that the fundamental approach to this subject was along the line of private enterprise. Now I am asked to point out what value there may be in business history to the business …
