  • “Rich beyond the Dreams of Avarice”: The Guggenheims in Chile

  • Thomas F. O'Brien
  • Journal:
    Business History Review / Volume 63 / Issue 1 / Spring 1989
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    13 December 2011, pp. 122-159
    Print publication:
    Spring 1989

  • This article focuses on the roles of business-government relations, technology, financing, entrepreneurship, and management in the evolution of multinational corporations. It describes the Guggenheims' successive involvements in Mexican silver, Chilean copper, and Chilean nitrates and stresses the brothers' strategic use of technical innovation and relations with host governments to accomplish these major changes in the focus of their business. The essay's findings suggest the need for a more sophisticated treatment of business-government relations and for the incorporation of entrepreneurship and organizational structure as dynamic variables in theories of the MNE. It also points to the importance of historical conjunctures that shape technology in understanding the emergence of the MNE.

  • The Black Businessman in the Postwar South: North Carolina, 1865–1880

  • Robert C. Kenzer
  • Journal:
    Business History Review / Volume 63 / Issue 1 / Spring 1989
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    13 December 2011, pp. 61-87
    Print publication:
    Spring 1989

  • This article uses the R. G. Dun and Company credit ratings to analyze North Carolina black businessmen and their firms in the fifteen years following the Civil War. When combined with data in local histories and in the federal census, the credit ratings reveal how the postbellum black business community, especially the mulatto population, was significantly shaped by antebellum emancipation. Blacks who shared the advantage of prewar freedom employed their superior financial resources and business experience to dominate their local economies after the war. Further, both as individuals and collectively, blacks used their newly acquired political power to foster economic opportunities in ways hitherto unrecognized by both political and business history scholars.
