Description

Book Synopsis
From the colonial era to 1914, America was a debtor nation in international accounts—owing more to foreigners than foreigners owed to us. By 1914 it was the world’s largest debtor nation. Mira Wilkins provides the first complete history of foreign investment in the United States during that period.

Trade Review
This path-breaking volume has had, according to Geoffrey Jones, ‘the most profound consequences in the history of multinationals,’ by opening up a previously neglected subject area. It bears all the hallmarks of Wilkins’s later writing: thorough prior research, and exact scholarship presented in a lively narrative style. -- T. A. B. Corley * Business History *
