Security and Risk: Challenges for Economy and Business in the Global 20th Century (Wirtschafts- und Sozialgeschichte des modernen Europa. Economic and Social History of Modern Europe) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The volume addresses issues of security and risk in economic and business history. A focus lies on the study of security in order to highlight the central role of preventive measures, corresponding corporate strategies, (public) demands for measures to promote security, and the conscious avoidance of actions considered risky. It is less on questions of risk avoidance and more on the analysis of decisions and strategies for creating stability and averting potential threats. The book aims at understanding how these security-oriented interventions and forward-looking approaches have shaped economy and businesses.
