Serious students of the worldwide industrialization that occurred in the century between the 1870s and the 1970s are indebted to Mr. Chandler…for a lifetime of determined effort to find order and predictable processes in industrial history… Chandler started out years ago to make sense out of the transformation of capitalist enterprise caused by the growth of giant industrial companies… He has succeeded with a power and authority that will not soon be matched.
