description: Ten papers, along with comments and responses, and an overall summary, consider whether World War II was a turning point or a hiatus in the evolution of business systems, and the effects of the economic mobilization and wartime industrial demands of World War II on the combatant countries. They find that in Japan, the US, the USSR, and Italy, the centralization and state intervention formed the basis for postwar industries and policies. In Britain, Germany, and France, however, the war was just a temporary distortion and had no lasting effect. Distributed in the US by Columbia U. Press. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
