No company symbolized the best and worst of that history more than the famous steel and arms maker. In this book, Harold James tells the story of the Krupp family and its industrial empire between the early nineteenth century and the present, and analyzes its transition from a family business to one owned by a nonprofit foundation. Krupp founded a small steel mill in 1811, which established the basis for one of the largest and most important companies in the world by the end of the century. Famously loyal to its highly paid workers, it rejected an exclusive focus on profit, but the company also played a central role in the armament of Nazi Germany and the firm's head was convicted as a war criminal at Nuremberg. Yet after the war Krupp managed to rebuild itself and become a symbol of Germany once again--this time open, economically successful, and socially responsible. Books on Krupp tend to either denounce it as a diabolical enterprise or celebrate its technical ingenuity. In contrast, James presents a balanced account, showing that the owners felt ambivalent about the company's military connection even while becoming more and more entangled in Germany's aggressive politics during the imperial era and the Third Reich. By placing the story of Krupp and its owners in a wide context, James also provides new insights into the political, social, and economic history of modern Germany.Steel industry and tradeGermanyHistoryElectronic books.Alfred Krupp.Alfried Krupp.Bertha Krupp.Berthold Beitz.English steel.Friedrich Alfred Krupp.Friedrich Krupp.German Empire.German industrial culture.German industrial recovery.German steel industry.Germany.Gustav Krupp.Gustav von Bohlen.Helene Amalie Krupp.Kaiser Wilhelm II.Krupp company.Krupp directors.Krupp family.Krupp.Kruppianer.NIROSTA.Nazi Germany.Nazi policy.Nazism.Nuremberg trials.Therese Krupp.Third Reich.Wilhelmine Germany.Wilhelminism.World War I.World War II.armament.armaments.business development.business ethic.business expansion.business.corporate culture.demilitarization.diplomacy.economic depression.entrepreneur.entrepreneurship.family affairs.family business.financial crisis.financial incentives.globalization.interwar years.modern Germany.modernity.nationalist management.naval rearmament.political engagement.postwar Germany.profitability.rearmament.reinvention.social philosophy.steel industry.steel mill.steel production.war criminal.work ethics.Steel industry and tradeHistory.338.7/6691420943NW 6015rvkJames Harold1956-850533MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457290803321Krupp2454281UNINA05413nam 2200709Ia 450 991082883100332120200520144314.01-283-37135-997866133713550-470-01225-0(CKB)1000000000244099(EBL)228327(OCoLC)304144540(SSID)ssj0000105104(PQKBManifestationID)11130729(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000105104(PQKBWorkID)10086060(PQKB)11434154(MiAaPQ)EBC228327(Au-PeEL)EBL228327(CaPaEBR)ebr10113981(CaONFJC)MIL337135(EXLCZ)99100000000024409920040427d2004 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrAn arbitrage guide to financial markets /Robert Dubil1st ed.Chichester Wiley Finance20041 online resource (345 p.)The Wiley Finance Series ;v.453Description based upon print version of record.0-470-85332-8 Includes bibliographical references and index.An Arbitrage Guide to Financial Markets;

Using a unique structural approach, it dissects all markets the same way: into spot, forward and contingent dimensions, bringing out the simplicity and the commonalities of all markets. The book shuns stochastic calculus in favor of cash flow details of arbitrage trades. All math is simple, but there is lots of it. The book reflects the relative value mentality of an institutional trader seeking profit from misalignments of variousWiley finance series.Stock exchangesInvestmentsMathematicsArbitrageRiskStock exchanges.InvestmentsMathematics.Arbitrage.Risk.332.6Dubil Robert903980MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828831003321An arbitrage guide to financial markets4048384UNINA
