Abstract

"The untold story of America's wholesale food business. In nineteenth-century America, municipal deregulation of the butcher trade and state-incorporated market companies gave rise to a flourishing wholesale trade. In Movable Markets, Helen Tangires describes the evolution of the American wholesale marketplace for fresh food, from its development as a bustling produce district in the heart of the city to its current indiscernible place in food industrial parks on the urban periphery. Tangires follows the middlemen, those intermediaries who became functional necessities as the railroads accelerated the process of delivering perishable food to the city. Tracing their rise and decline in the wake of a deregulated food economy, she asks: How did these people, who occupied such key roles as food distributors and suppliers to the retail trade, end up exiled to urban outskirts? Moving into the early twentieth century, she explains how progressive city planners and agricultural economists responded to anxieties about the high cost of living, traffic congestion, and disruptions in the food supply by questioning the centrality, aging infrastructure, and organizational structure of wholesale markets. Tangires combines economic and cultural history by analyzing popular literature, innovative scholarship, and USDA publications. Detailing the legal, physical, and organizational means behind the complex exodus of food wholesaling from the urban core, Tangires also reveals how the trade adjusted to life beyond the city limits as it created new channels of distribution, product lines, and markets. Readers interested in US history, city and regional planning history, food history, and public policy, as well as anyone curious about the disappearance of the central produce district as a major component of the city, will find Movable Markets a fascinating read." -- Publisher's description.

Abstract

Über die Wirtschaft der Antike sind wir gut informiert. Für den Waren- und Geldverkehr standen in den Städten eigene Gebäude zur Verfügung, die im römischen Reich von Speicherbauten in bedeutenden Wirtschaftszentren und Hafenorten bis zu Bank- und Börsengebäuden an den zentralen Plätzen der Städte reichten. Diese Bauten wurden von Archäologen und Bauhistorikern vielfach untersucht, wobei Bauweise und Gestaltung im Vordergrund standen. Wirtschaftshistoriker befassten sich intensiv mit Handels- und Geldgeschäften, ohne Zusammenhänge mit Baulichkeiten in den Blick zu nehmen. Interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit eröffnet neue Perspektiven. Mit dem Wissen über wirtschaftliche Vorgänge lassen sich Bauten besser verstehen, und Bauwerke können ökonomische Vorgänge sichtbar machen. Das wurde beim erstmaligen Gedankenaustausch zwischen den verschiedenen Forschungsdisziplinen rasch deutlich. Der vorliegende Tagungsband enthält Beiträge über Handelsformen und Handelsbeziehungen, er stellt Speichergebäude und Kaufmannshäuser vor und beleuchtet mit dem Magdalensberg bei Kärnten ein bedeutendes Zentrum der Erzgewinnung und der Metallverarbeitung. Einen besonderen Platz nimmt die römische Basilika als großartiges Bank- und Börsengebäude ein, dessen Entwicklung um 200 v. Chr. quasi schlagartig am Forum Romanum begann und die neue Vormacht Rom als Zentrum der antiken Wirtschaft und zentrale Instanz des Wirtschafts- und Steuerrechts mit neuen Maßstäben auch städtebaulich prägte. Die beiden letzten Beiträge befassen sich mit der weiteren Entwicklung des Begriffes Basilika und seinen Nachwirkungen im Kirchenbau und in der Architekturtheorie bis heute.

Abstract

An ambitious new work by a well-respected sociologist, Information and Organizations provides a bold perspective of the dynamics of organizations. Stinchcombe contends that the "information problem" and the concept of "uncertainty" provide the key to understanding how organizations function. In a delightful mix of large theoretical insights and vivid anecdotal material, Stinchcombe explores the ins and outs of organizations from both a macro and micro perspective. He reinterprets the work of the renowned scholars of business, Alfred Chandler, James March and Oliver Williamson, and looks in depth at corporations like DuPont and General Motors. Along the way, Stinchcombe explores subjects as varied as class consciousness, innovation, contracts and university administration. All of these analyses are distinguished by incisive thinking and creative new approaches to issues that have long confronted business people and those interested in organizational theory. A tour de force, Information and Organizations is a must-read for business people and scholars of many stripes. It promises to be a widely discussed and debated work.
