To better understand the historical processes central to American economic development, Enterprising America brings together contributors who address the economic behavior of American firms and financial institutions-and the associated legal institutions that shaped their behavior-throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Collectively, the contributions provide an account of the ways in which businesses, banks, and credit markets promoted America's extraordinary economic growth. Among the topics that emerge are the rise of incorporation and its connection to factory production in manufacturing, the organization and operation of large cotton plantations in comparison with factories, the regulation and governance of banks, the transportation revolution's influence on bank stability and survival, and the emergence of long-distance credit in the context of an economy that was growing rapidly and becoming increasingly integrated across space. 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research conference report. 606 $aBusiness enterprises$zUnited States$xHistory$vCongresses 606 $aBusiness enterprises$zUnited States$xFinance$xHistory$vCongresses 606 $aCommercial credit$zUnited States$xHistory$vCongresses 606 $aBank loans$zUnited States$xHistory$vCongresses 615 0$aBusiness enterprises$xHistory 615 0$aBusiness enterprises$xFinance$xHistory 615 0$aCommercial credit$xHistory 615 0$aBank loans$xHistory 676 $a338.0973 702 $aCollins$b William J., $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMargo$b Robert A., $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 712 02$aVanderbilt University, 712 02$aNational Bureau of Economic Research, 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910954567503321 996 $aEnterprising America$94368199 997 $aUNINA
