Think of Foundations of business thought as a journey through the ages of written business history--a flight through the 'wormhole' of philosophy, literature, economics, and politics. This voyage is mapped out for us not by commentators on the subject of business; rather, our 'navigators' are the original authors. These original authors invite us to experience the primary works themselves. They guide us through an arc of interdisciplinary subjects and illuminate more than 2,000 years of thinking about the subject of commerce and its meaning in our lives. This is not a brief journey; of course, it is not a brief subject either. After all, we find ourselves, here in the twenty-first century, surrounded by commerce.
