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.Doerflinger, Thomas M. is the author of 'Vigorous Spirit of Enterprise Merchants and Economic Development in Revolutionary Philadelphia', published 2001 under ISBN 9780807849460 and ISBN 0807849464.
