An Infinite History: The Story of a Family in France over Three Centuries

byEmma Rothschild

Emma Rothschild uses An Infinite History to investigate the Story of a Family in France over Three Centuries through a carefully framed historical account. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the connected fields of business & economics and history. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant.
