Description
Book SynopsisPopular conceptions hold that capitalism is driven almost entirely by the pursuit of profit and self-interest. This work reveals an unexpected truth about capitalist society: protecting and promoting the profits of its member businesses are only two of the many functions these associations serve.
Trade Review"Lyn Spillman does for trade associations what Alexis de Tocqueville did for civic ones, carefully investigating a wide range of associations in the United States - with surprising results. In describing how these associations band members together and give rise to group identities, Solidarity in Strategy breaks new ground in the discussion of the cultures of capitalism." (Frederick Wherry, University of Michigan)"
