Business Literature: History [ELIS Classic]

One of the objectives of the information disciplines is to study the universe of recorded information—that is, to study the documentary products of domains of human activity—and to come to understand such bodies of literature as social and historical phenomena in and of themselves. Coman reviews the development of business from ancient times to the twentieth century, with particular attention to the history of the literatures of business and foreign trade.—ELIS Classic, from 1970
