The 13 edition of this book continues a long effort to tell the story of how forces in business government and society shape our world. In addition an emphasis on management issues and processes allows students to apply the principles they learn to real-world situations. As always a stream of events dictated the need for extensive revision. Accordingly Steiner and Steiner have updated the chapters to include new ideas events personalities and publications while continuing the work of building insight into basic underlying principles institutions and forces.
