Integrating politics, economics, and law, Freedman traces the origin, development, and the role of joint-stock companies in France from the prerevolutionary Old Regime to the reorganization of the corporation under the legislation of 1867. He focuses on two types of companies, the societe anonyme and the societe en commandite par actions, to show that French corporate law was as liberal as any in Europe and should be regarded as a positive contributor to French economic growth.

Smith explains how France abandoned merchant capitalism for the corporate enterprise that would come to dominate its economy and project influence around the globe. Opposing the view that French economic and business development was crippled by missed opportunities and entrepreneurial failures, he presents a story of considerable achievement.

First Published in 1990. This volume starts with an introduction to the first works on business history since 1924 looking at the work of Francis Hyde in Liverpool and Harvard. This is a collection of articles reprinted from the first 25 year of the journal 'Business History' which was bi-annually available until in 1981 when it increased to three issues. The contributions demonstrate that the interpretation of business history has been very wide, falling into the area of economic history.
