This book is a feat of detection and historical reconstruction which establishes him as a figure of substantial influence. Like all good business history it transcends narrow departmental interests. It is a solid mixture of business, economic, political, social and even diplomatic history. It sketches the life and times of Docker: it describes the deals he fixed, recounts the rise and fall of the companies he directed, but also recreates the milieu in which he worked and portrays British socio-economic history from his standpoint. The book's chief theme is the decline of British industrial hegemony since 1880.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51941787500832,"sku":"NEW052189400X","price":63.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/dudley-docker-the-life-and-times-of-a-trade-warrior-052189400x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
