Firms, Networks and Business Values: The British and American Cotton Industries since 1750. By Mary B. Rose. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2000. Pp. xii, 352. $64.95.
本书批评了以美国发展模式为标准评判英国棉纺织业的倾向，主张从英国视角重新审视英美两国棉纺织业的兴衰。
The point of departure of this book is the assertion that recent scholarship has treated the British cotton-textile industry unfairly because of the strong tendency to situate the industry in the U.S. blueprint of development. The result, Mary Rose believes, has led to some misunderstanding of the rise and decline of the British industry. Rose reverses the standard approach and views the development of U.S. industry through British lenses.
