MADE IN THE U.S.A. : The History of American Business
DiBacco, Thomas V.
Harper & Row, 1987
290 pages

“This comprehensive narrative history of 350 years of American business covers all of the major lives, events, and inventions of our country’s economic past. Lively, anecdotal and informative, it captures the spirit of each age that led a struggling settlement of pilgrims to become the most prosperous nation in the world” (publisher). While not writing from an explicitly Christian perspective, DiBacco does not ignore the theological ideas or motivations that influenced both individual entrepreneurs and the general development of American business culture. (For more on this aspect see R. Lunden’s Business and Religion in the American 1920s.) DiBacco’s book is a primary resource, written by a respected historian. Includes a detailed index.
