A Vigorous Spirit of Enterprise: Merchants and Economic Development in Revolutionary Philadelphia (Published for the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture, Williamsburg, Virginia) - Hardcover
Synopsis
A social, economic, and political study of Philadelphia merchants, this study presents both the spirit and statistics of merchant life. Doerflinger studies the Philadelphia merchant community from three perspectives: their commercial world, their confrontation with the Revolution and its aftermath, and their role in diversifying the local economy. The analysis of entrepreneurship dominates the study and challenges long-standing assumptions about American economic history.
