Publisher Description:
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In the late 19th century, Michigan, and specifically Detroit, rose to prominence in the Industrial world. Today, Detroit is one of the leading cities for automobile manufacturing in the country and the world. This book examines the economic history of Michigan and Detroit, discussing the early moves towards Industrialization through the Erie Canal and Railroads, the founding of motor companies and the influence of Motown and oil on the 20th century economy.
