Business History and the History of Technology
Business enterprise in a market setting is the principal institutional artifact of capitalism, while capitalism itself is the creation of powerful evolutionary forces that were present in the culture of Europe. Those evolutionary forces continue their play into the present, working within the distinctive cultural context determined by an evolving capitalism. Every type and style of history dealing with European society and its offshoots must ulti…

Veblen as Teacher and Hunker in 1896-97: The Hagerty Notes on How the Economist Derived His Criticism of the Structure of Classical Economic Theory
From the notes of a graduate student, James E. Hagerty, there has survived a record of sorts of what Thorstein Veblen taught at the University of Chicago in 1896-97. It shows that Veblen was working out in the classroom the ideas he presented formally after 1889, particularly the idea that "Differences in political economy now and in the past are due to a difference in psychology"-in "the point of view from which the facts are handled." Veblenian…

Peddling in the Antebellum Economy: Precursor of Mass-Marketing or a Start in Life
This article examines the effect of peddling upon industrialization and economic development and the evolution of institutional arrangements in marketing in the Antebellum period. After 1840 peddling in America was undertaken, to an increasing extent, by newly arrived immigrants from Germany who displaced the traditional "Yankees" from the trade. The relationship between peddling and the development of entrepreneurship is explored, along with the…

"Elisha K. Root, Forging, and the "American System
The contributions of Elisha Root to development of metalworking technology in nascent mass-production industries in second quarter of 19th century are most commonly seen in light of his association with Colt Armory in Hartford, Connecticut, where, after 1849, he was factory foreman and general superintendent. In this capacity Root is credited with many innovations in techniques for manufacturing revolvers: He invented best form of drop hammer the…
Factor Substitution and Labor Productivity Growth in American Manufacturing, 1839–1899
The work of H. J. Habakkuk, Peter Temin, Robert Fogel, and Nathan Rosenberg on the effect of relative factor price differentials between America and England in the nineteenth century on the course of technological development has generated considerable interest in providing some empirical evidence on the labor scarcity hypothesis. Briefly stated, the hypothesis claims that relatively higher wages in America brought about the invention and use in …

Henry Burden and the Question of Anglo-American Technological Transfer in the Nineteenth Century
My object in this article is to use the historical evidence of one man's life to raise questions concerning the way we have come to understand our technological history. Inventors and mechanicians have long occupied a prominent place in American history. However, the bases for selecting and certifying these national heroes have resulted in a curious record of achievement and considerable distortion in our understanding of the development of Ameri…
