The most interesting part of this book is that, despite the title (in English, closer to the content- in Italian, misleading) focused on manufacturing, is worth reading for anybody (in private or public business, i.e. including politics and non-profit) to understand how the business environment changes over the last few centuries- and how that impacted on everyday life- including on social relationships.
Probably, you can complement it with other books from the bibliography (i.e. if you are focus on business, have a look at the Schoberger book listed within the bibliography, but reading reports from the IMF, OECD, and IBRD/World Bank spanning a few years would give you a feeling of the evoution).
I wish that some of my more technology-oriented friends and colleagues read at least the introduction (chapter 1) and the chapters on social organization (e.g. 4, 5, 8)
As for my non-technological friends: read the same chapters, to have a better understanding on what is "under the hood" in a complex society
It could also be interesting if read before (not after, as I did) Piketty's "XXI century"- to add some context to number crunching that is often a quest stretching data to fit a theory… (mer)
