| Zusammenfassung: | "In this absorbing narrative, Barry E.C. Boothman traces the history of Abitibi Power and Paper Limited alongside the rise and fall of the newsprint industry and the advent of Canadian corporate capitalism. In the first half of the twentieth century, Abitibi was Canada's biggest manufacturer--an apparent success story after the Wall Street crash of 1929 and a company deemed "too big to fail"--but the company eventually ended up at the centre of the longest and most controversial bankruptcy in Canadian history. Moving from the frontier areas of northern Ontario to the heart of the continental economy, Corporate Cataclysm shows how competitive strategies, industrial organization, corporate finance, and law combined with the empire-building dreams of entrepreneurs and the concerns of politicians to generate an economic disaster. It then chronicles the disputes and intense strife that plagued Abitibi's fourteen-year receivership."-- |

C., author. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2020041025 Corporate cataclysm : Abitibi Power & Paper and the collapse of the newsprint industry, 1912-1946 / Barry E.C. Boothman. Abitibi Power & Paper and the collapse of the newsprint industry, 1912-1946 Toronto ; Buffalo ; London : University of Toronto Press, [2020] 1 online resource. text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Themes in business and society Includes bibliographical references and index. "In this absorbing narrative, Barry E.C. Boothman traces the history of Abitibi Power and Paper Limited alongside the rise and fall of the newsprint industry and the advent of Canadian corporate capitalism. In the first half of the twentieth century, Abitibi was Canada's biggest manufacturer--an apparent success story after the Wall Street crash of 1929 and a company deemed "too big to fail"--but the company eventually ended up at the centre of the longest and most controversial bankruptcy in Canadian history. Moving from the frontier areas of northern Ontario to the heart of the continental economy, Corporate Cataclysm shows how competitive strategies, industrial organization, corporate finance, and law combined with the empire-building dreams of entrepreneurs and the concerns of politicians to generate an economic disaster. It then chronicles the disputes and intense strife that plagued Abitibi's fourteen-year receivership."-- Provided by publisher.
