Industrial Constructions: The Sources of German Industrial Power

by Gary Herrigel, Mark Granovetter (Editor)

This book is about the way in which industrial production in Germany was conditioned by social, political, and regional factors from the seventeenth century to the present. The argument is distinctive because it pays so much attention to small and medium sized firms, and because it suggests that Germany does not have a single coherent national system of industrial governance. This social constructivist point of view presents a direct challenge to the Gerschenkronian, Schumpetarian, and Chandlerian approaches to Germany's economic history.

建构了一个关于德国中小企业体系发展的平行故事。和我们通常主流认知的autarkic industrial order平行的是，Herrigel认为德国一直存在一些小的工业生产商，没有被整合到这些大工业集团的生产体系里面，也不依赖国有银行，和国家行政体系。第一章梳理理论写得真好。
