À propos de ce produit

Product Information

Popular stereotypes of Rockwellian storekeepers have characterized grocery retailers as backward and resistant to modernizing impulses. Cornering the Market challenges these conventions to show that early grocers were important but unsung innovators, revolutionizing business practices from the bottom, and transforming the grocery trade from local enterprises to a nationwide industry.

Reviews
"[Spellman] provides readers with a fascinating description of the role of independent grocers in spurring innovation within the retail function in the 19th century...Highly recommended."--CHOICE"Like the inviting stores it describes, Susan Spellman's Cornering the Market captures the imagination. In marvelous detail, she recounts the entrepreneurs who started small grocery shops and the range of companies--Quaker Oats, National Biscuit, American Tobacco, National Cash Register--that tried to sell them products, technology, and ideas. It is a well-crafted story of enterprise, culture, and capitalism."--Walter A. Friedman, author of Birth of a Salesman: The Transformation of Selling in America and Fortune Tellers: The Story of America's First Economic Forecasters"This book fills in gaps in historical knowledge about the history of grocery stores, and also challenges readers to rethink the key tenets in business history. Dr. Spellman shows how small retailers were at the center of the burgeoning American economy."--Tracey Deutsch, author of Building a Housewife's Paradise: Gender, Government, and American Grocery Stores in the Twentieth Century"Although often viewed as quaint holdovers from a mythic past, local grocery stores are shown in this book to have been key agents of a modernizing impulse in American capitalism from the Civil War era to the New Deal. Rich and entertaining detail abounds in this fine-grained historical analysis framed by empathy rather than disdain for how small businessmen set the stage for the 20th-century growth of chain stores such as the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company and eventually Walmart."--Shane Hamilton, The York Management School, University of York, "[Spellman] provides readers with a fascinating description of the role of independent grocers in spurring innovation within the retail function in the 19th century...Highly recommended."--CHOICE "Like the inviting stores it describes, Susan Spellman's Cornering the Market captures the imagination.
