Description :
The book is divided into two parts, the first on the Hellenic Steam Navigation Company (1857-1893) and the second on the transition from sail to steam in Greek cargo shipping. It focuses on institutional aspects of the advent of the steam navigation in Greece and is very much influenced by the theories of the 1980s, which saw every effort in Greece as a failure due to the problematic relations between the State and the entrepreneurial elites. It totally negects the contribution of the steam navigation in communications and the modernization of the country.
