Organized Business in France

The grand patronat is an important force in France. Here it is described, anatomized and analyzed in its relation to French business as a whole, the national economy, politics and, more broadly, the character of French life. Professor Ehrmann, who has been working on this subject for a number of years, draws on personal knowledge as well as a vast array of writings, many of them recondite and unfamiliar. This is a first-rate contribution.
