September Enterprise & Society Is Out

Volume 16, no. 3 of Enterprise & Society, published by the Business History Conference, has just been mailed. The issue ranges widely, both temporally and geographically; the table of contents includes:
Caroline Jack, "Fun and Facts about American Business: Economic Education and Business Propaganda in an Early Cold War Cartoon Series"
Niklas Jensen-Eriksen and Jari Ojala, "Tackling Market Failure or Building a Cartel? Creation of an Investment Regulation System in Finnish Forest Industries"
Martin Eriksson, "A Golden Combination: The Formation of Monetary Policy in Sweden after World War I"
Talia Pfefferman and David De Vries, "Gendering Access to Credit: Business Legitimacy in Mandate Palestine"
Richard Goldthwaite, "The Practice and Culture of Accounting in Renaissance Florence"
Michael Aldous, "Avoiding Negligence and Profusion: The Failure of the Joint-Stock Form in the Anglo-Indian Tea Trade, 1840–1870"
In addition to many book reviews, the issue also contains a review essay by Hannah Farber, "Nobody Panic: The Emerging Worlds of Economics and History in North America," which discusses Jonathan Levy, Freaks of Fortune: The Emerging World of Capitalism and Risk in America (Harvard University Press, 2012) and Jessica M. Lepler, The Many Panics of 1837: People, Politics, and the Creation of a Transatlantic Financial Crisis (Cambridge University Press, 2013).
     Complete access to the issue requires a BHC membership, but abstracts of the articles are open to all.

The Exchange is changing platforms! Please read to continue receiving our messages [working links]

  Dear subscribers to The Exchange: I am happy to announce that our blog is moving platforms. For almost a decade, the Business History Conference has used Blogger to publish and archive posts. However, in early 2021, the blogging site announced that their email serving service would be terminated. In addition, we noticed that many of our subscribers had stopped receiving the blog’s emails, and our subscription provides very limited reporting. In agreement, the Electronic Media Oversight Committee , web administrator Shane Hamilton, and web editor Paula de la Cruz-Fernández decided to move our web blog from Blogger to our website . We now write to you to request that if you wish to continue receiving announcements from the BHC, please subscribe here: https://thebhc.org/subscribe-exchange   Interested people will be asked to log into their BHC’s account or open one, free. If you have questions, please email The Business History Conference <web-admin [at] thebhc.org>  Through The
