Download or read book The Rise of Planning in Industrial America, 1865-1914 written by Richard Philip Adelstein. This book was released on 2012. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Central economic planning is often associated with failed state socialism, and modern capitalism celebrated as its antithesis. This book shows that central planning is not always, or even primarily, a state enterprise, and that the giant industrial corporations that dominated the American economy through the twentieth century were, first and foremost, unprecedented examples of successful, consensual central planning at a very large scale.
