  • Immigrant Entrepreneurs in U.S. Financial History, 1775-1914

    Thomas K MccrawARTICLECapitalism and Society2010Cited by: 5

  • Alfred Chandler: His Vision and Achievement

    Open AccessThomas K MccrawARTICLEThe Business History Review2008Cited by: 6References: 2

    How do we measure Alfred Chandler's achievement? What forces shaped his vision? What is his place in the pantheon of historians and social scientists? Might he rank with sociologists such as Talcott Parsons or even Max Weber? Economists such as Kenneth Arrow or even Joseph Schumpeter? With political scientists such as Louis Hartz, Robert Dahl, and Seymour Martin Lipset? It's too early to make these kinds of judgments, but some answers are certain…

  • Schumpeter's Business Cycles as Business History

    Open AccessThomas K MccrawARTICLEThe Business History Review2006Cited by: 3References: 28

    Business Cycles was Joseph Schumpeter's least successful book, measured by its professed aims and several other yardsticks. Yet the book has two vital aspects that have largely been overlooked. First, the prodigious research that went into its writing caused a significant change in Schumpeter's thinking about capitalism. It moved him to a more historical and empirical approach that shaped nearly all his subsequent work. And second, much of the bo…

  • A Perilous Progress: Economists and Public Purpose in Twentieth-Century America

    Thomas K MccrawREVIEWJournal of American History2002

    In the tradition of Dorothy Ross, Mary Furner, Geoffrey Hodgson, and David Colander, Michael A. Bernstein has produced a first-rate analysis of the professionalization of social science. His book is not only a well-informed history of the American economics profession but also an insightful analysis of its relationship with government and a philippic against what Bernstein sees as the profession's recent self-prostitution. The book argues that, l…

  • Rescuing Prometheus

    Thomas K MccrawARTICLETechnology and Culture2000

    On the last page of this excellent book, Thomas P. Hughes provides a list of twenty-two pairs of evocative words and phrases, set down in parallel columns. The terms in his first column denote aspects of "modern" (pre-World War II) methods of technology, engineering, and management; those in the second stand for approaches characteristic of the "postmodern" (postwar) period. Hughes uses these shorthand "polarities," as he calls them, to compare t…

  • Losing to Win: U.S. Steel's Pricing, Investment Decisions, and Market Share, 1901–1938

    Open AccessThomas K Mccraw, Forest L Reinhardt et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Economic History1989Cited by: 5References: 4

    U.S. Steel held two-thirds of the American market in 1901, but by the 1930s its share had dropped to one-third. Such a decline is consistent with the economic theory of oligopoly pricing and capacity expansion, but the available data offer limited opportunities for formal testing of hypotheses. A close examination of U.S. Steel's early history leads us to argue that Chairman Elbert Gary's desire for price stability, his fear of antitrust litigati…
