Entrepreneur versus capital - capital versus entrepreneur

The book provides an extensive analysis of the relationship between large, small, and even tiny business entities and financial institutions, and vice versa, within the context of Central Europe from the 19th century to the present day. From the perspective of businesses, it maps out capital security and describes examples to better understand various aspects of their financing and the related managerial work. The individual studies reveal the financing and business strategies of companies such as Schicht, Baťa, Lanna, A. Schram, and the enterprises of Jindřich Kolowrat-Krakowský. The activities of financial institutions and their role in industrial, commercial, and trade businesses are also explored, along with popular finance, forms of loans from the Central Union of Czechoslovak Cooperatives, and smaller pawnshops.
