This book provides a unique contribution to contemporary globalization debates by providing an accessible survey of the growth and role of multinational enterprises in the world economy over the last two hundred years. The author shows how entrepreneurs built a global economy in the nineteenth century by creating firms that pursued resources and markets across borders. It demonstrates how multinationals shifted strategies as the first global economy disintegrated in the political and economic chaos between the two world wars, and how they have driven the creation of the contemporary global economy. It will be essential reading for advanced students of International Business, Business History, Mulitnationals, and Entrepreneurship.

Recensioner i media

Journal of World History Jones's book is very useful, both as an introduction to the business scholarship on multinationals and as a very accessible text...I would declare it a great success.

Bernard J Foley, Economic History Review It is clear that this is a valuable, student-friendly book at a number of levels... All in all, well worth the asking price.

Jones' skills when it comes to building bridges between business history and management and business disciplines are well known... The book is strongly recommended, not only as a textbook, but also to readers who have a general interest in modern international business and business history.

The book's strengths...are manifold...Multinaltionals provides evidence of scholarship that is bright, confident, coherent, and up to date.
