Business historians Amatori and Colli publish a new international book after 20 years of collaboration

To narrate economic history through the narration of the evolution of the organizational forms of production since the preindustrial era until now is the ambitious aim of Business History. Complexities and Comparisons (Routledge, 2011, 272 pages, £ 31.99 paperback or ebook, £ 95 hardback), a brand new book by Bocconi's business historians Franco Amatori and Andrea Colli.

"Adopting the lenses of the firm, and big business in particular, we sift through three industrial revolutions, observe the economic and geopolitical leadership shifting from Europe to the US and, recently, moving towards Asia", Colli says, "and follow the ebb and flow of globalization".

The book comes as the synthesis of 20 years of collaboration between the two authors on business history topics and took more than one year to be written.

An Italian edition will be published by Bruno Mondadori.
