This Week in Business History for June 28th: The 1890’s Revolution in Home Kitchens & Cooking

Supply Chain Now — Tue, 28 Jun 2022 00:00:00 -0400

Many innovations extend beyond one invention or improvement. They happen thanks to combined changes in attitude, economics, technology, and society.

In this week’s episode of This Week in Business History we see this dynamic play out in home kitchens – starting with the patenting of the first electric stove by William S. Hadaway on June 30, 1896.

Right in the midst of the second industrial revolution, this invention can be considered alongside the electrification of American homes, a desire for cleanliness and food safety, and standardization of everything from manufacturing to recipe measurements.

Listen to these stories and then marvel at the many innovations sitting in your own home kitchen!

This Week in Business History for June 14th: Economics in the Age of Enlightenment: Adam Smith (1723-1790)

Supply Chain Now — Tue, 14 Jun 2022 00:00:00 -0400

During the Enlightenment, humanity experienced huge increases in understanding, and free thinkers that were so impactful we still study their works today. It was also a time of revolution: the American, French, Scientific, and Industrial.

One of the greatest minds the world has ever known was born into the midst of all this change: Adam Smith. His book, The Wealth of Nations, was a landmark publication and instant bestseller in its day. It is still studied and read today, even if we don’t accept all of the ideas inside it as gospel.

This Week in Business History for May 31st: 18th Century Supply Chain Disruption- The Boston Port Act

Supply Chain Now — Tue, 31 May 2022 00:00:00 -0400

Over the last few years, we have seen ports closed for labor strikes, COVID, and the Ever Given getting stuck sideways in the Suez Canal. Every time a port is closed, it disrupts the flow of materials for a whole region and creates hardships for vast areas and communities that count on that port to supply them with all kinds of things.

But can a closed port be a world history changing rallying point? It was in 1774. In fact, closing the port of Boston led to a turn in public opinion that brought together the residents of the Massachusetts Bay Colony – separatists and loyalists alike – as well as the other 12 colonies. It was a catalyst leading up to the American Revolution.

Listen to this episode of This Week in Business History as host Kelly Barner shares the very business-driven history of the Boston Port Act, which took effect on June 1, 1774.

This Week in Business History for May 17th: Quality That Never Goes Out of Style- The Levi’s Story

Supply Chain Now — Tue, 17 May 2022 00:00:00 -0400

Levis may well have been the pants that won the West, but it wasn’t the pants themselves that put Levi Strauss & Company on the map, it was the rivets that held them together under the strain of hard labor. And the rivets weren’t Strauss’ invention – that came from Jacob Davis, a tailor from Reno, Nevada, who had a great idea but not $69 for a patent. So he partnered with Strauss, and the rest is history.

Listen to this episode of This Week in Business History with Kelly Barner to trace blue jean innovations as they cross paths with the gold rush, the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake, World War I, and the Gilded Age.

Supply Chain Now — Tue, 03 May 2022 00:00:00 -0400
