Enterprise
In partnership with W. W. Norton
The driving force behind Enterprise is to chronicle the ideas that have shaped our economic development—and thus our history. How did these ideas evolve? How did the visionaries who conjured them into being arrive at their key insights? The range of the series is wide: from Antiquity to the Renaissance, from the robber barons to the founders of modern corporations.
The authors—eminent biographers, novelists, historians, and journalists—have challenged themselves to venture beyond their fields. The result is an entirely new genre: an innovative series about innovators.
