Global Electrification: Multinational Enterprise and International Finance in the History of Light and Power, 1878-2007

摘要

Global Electrification is an impressively researched history of international finance and multinational companies in the development of the electric utility industry. In particular, the authors are interested in the extent to which utilities were owned and controlled by foreign companies and how these investment patterns shifted over time. With its rich empirical base, this work will be an important resource for those working on the history of international business, global finance, and electrification.
