The Basics of Business History: 100 Events That Shaped a Century

Which was more important to U.S. business — Bill Gates’ licensing of MS-DOS to IBM or the introduction of Bakelite? We think you’ll be surprised. In TSC’s Basics of Business History, we count down the top 100 U.S. business events of the 20th century, ranking the signal points, inventions, ideas and companies from least important to most. Take a look at the introduction to get an idea of our (subjective) qualifications, and then start ticking through the events from 100 to 1. You can view the events in their political and cultural context in the TSC Timeline, and get a quick overview of our choices with the chronological and numerical lists.
