About The Making of the Modern World
| Subject | "The Making of the Modern World offers multiple new ways of understanding the emergence of modern economics and other social sciences. It's the most comprehensive collection in existence for the study of early economic, political, business, and social history, and for researching the literature of economics from this period. This unrivalled online library offers comprehensive witness to the theories, practices, and consequences of economic and business activity in the West, from the last half of the 15th century to the mid-19th century. It combines the strengths of two pre-eminent collections—the Goldsmiths' Library of Economic Literature at the University of London Library and the Kress Library of Business and Economics at the Harvard University Graduate School of Business Administration—along with supplementary materials from the Seligman Collection in the Butler Library at Columbia University and from the libraries of Yale University."
