Focusing on the period between the Civil War and World War I, this book highlights the significance of flexibility, specialization, and niche marketing in establishing the U.S. as a global manufacturing power. While mass production industries are often credited, the author emphasizes the role of specialty firms across various sectors, including printing, jewelry, furniture, and tools. The narrative explores the dynamics between workers and owners, the collaboration among entrepreneurs and city officials, and the contributions of industrial engineers like Frederic W. Taylor.
