"Crucible Steel Company of America" provides a detailed and authoritative look into one of the most significant industrial entities of the early twentieth century. Written during a period of peak American industrial expansion, this work documents the history, operations, and technical achievements of a corporation that was central to the development of high-quality alloy and tool steels.

The text explores the evolution of the steel industry, detailing the manufacturing processes and metallurgical innovations that powered the growth of American infrastructure, from railroads to the burgeoning automotive sector. Readers will find a comprehensive account of the company's organizational structure and its broader impact on the economic landscape of the 1920s. By examining the technical and strategic milestones of the firm, John B. Haberle captures the essence of the era's industrial spirit and the engineering feats that defined the age.

As an essential historical record, "Crucible Steel Company of America" serves as a primary source for understanding the history of metallurgy and the development of heavy industry in the United States. It is a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the foundational companies that shaped the modern economic world.

Factory-Free Economy: Outsourcing, Servitization, and the Future of Industry
De-industrialization, accelerated by the financial crisis, is a long term process. The comparative advantage of emerging economies shifted towards more advanced goods and their growing populations commanded an increasing share in global demand. This shift towards a factory-free economy in high income countries has drawn the attention of policy makers in North America and Europe. Some politicians have articulated alarming views, initiating mercantilist or 'beggar-thy-neighbour' cost-competitiveness policies. Yet companies that concentrate research and design innovations at home but no longer have any factories there may be the norm in the future. This volume proposes an economic analysis of this phenomenon and includes 11 contributions which complement each other and tackle the problem from different angles. <p/>The evidence in this book suggests that de-industrialization is a process that happens over time in all countries, even China. One implication is that criticism of China is not likely to provide a solution to these long term trends. Another implication is that the distinction between manufacturing and services is likely to become increasingly blurry. More manufacturing firms are engaging in services activities, and more wholesale firms are engaging in manufacturing. One optimistic perspective suggests that industrial country firms may be able to exploit the high-value added and skill-intensive activities associated with design and innovation, as well as distribution, which are all components of the global value chain for manufacturing. <p/>Although this ongoing transformation of the industrial economies may be consistent with evolving comparative advantage, it has significant short-run costs and requires far-sighted investments. These include the costs to workers who are caught in the shift from an industrial to a service economy, and the need to invest in new infrastructure and education to prepare coming generations for their changing roles.<br>
