Monied Metropolis New York City and the Consolidation of the Bourgeoisie, 1850-1896

"[Beckert] has drawn deftly on an immense body of recent historical work on the period as well on extensive New York archives. He has provided a detailed account of how a mid-century merchant class with divisive views on the Civil War, labor unrest and economic issues such as the tariff evolved into the unified social entity he calls an entrepreneurial bourgeoisie."Beckert, Sven is the author of 'Monied Metropolis New York City and the Consolidation of the Bourgeoisie, 1850-1896' with ISBN 9780521790390 and ISBN 0521790395.
