My co-blogger has a reputation for poking fun at French intellectuals, so in this blog's spirit of international brotherhood I direct you to an interesting review of Michael Stephen Smith, The Emergence of Modern Business Enterprise in France, 1800-1930 (Harvard University Press, 2005). The review, by Pierre-Cyrille Hautcoeur, appears in the excellent book review series at Eh.Net. The book "'argues that the same forces that were giving rise to a new kind of very large, very complex business organization in the United States, Germany, and Great Britain between 1880 and 1930 were also at work in France,' contrary to the idea of a special or a backward path for French economic development."
