Melvyn Dubofsky is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of History & Sociology, SUNY Binghamton. He is the author or editor of nearly 20 books, including Hard Work: The Making of Labor History, The State and Labor in Modern America, and The Great Depression and the New Deal.
"Dubofsky has assembled an impressive collection of nearly 500 business-related entries in this set... For libraries interested in a print encyclopedia covering key historical business topics, this impressive work from a top academic publisher would be an excellent choice." --CHOICE"Authoritative articles on important labor and economics topics can be particularly useful owing to the unfamiliarity of students and even otherwise well-informed readers with economic concepts and historical themes. Dubofsky is a highly distinguished scholar with wide-ranging interests and encyclopedic knowledge... the reputation and high standards of the editors insures 'high quality scholarship.' I think that this volume makes sense especially as part of the series of specialized encyclopedias spun off from the Companion." -Robert Zeiger (Distinguished Professor of History, University of Florida)"Readers can be assured that each entry reflects the latest and most reputable scholarly research on the subject matter. Oxford is known for its high-quality print publications, and this title is no exception." --Booklist
