Pressestimmen
"The continuous decline of ocean shipping costs in the last 40 years is rarely credited for the growth of global trade in contemporary literature. Don't miss this amazing history."--George Stalk, Boston Consulting Group and author of Surviving the China Riptide"An excellent piece of work."--Bruce Nelson, Dartmouth College"This book is dynamite. The experts who tell you the transistor and microchips changed the world are off base. The ugly, unglamorous, little-noticed shipping container has changed the world. Without it, there would be no globalization, no Wal-Mart, maybe even no high-tech. And what looks like low-tech is in fact a breathtaking technological innovation. Marc Levinson's sparkling and authoritative story is great fun to read, but it is spectacular economic history as well."--Peter L. Bernstein, author of Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk"Fascinating, informative, wonderfully historicized. This is a terrific untold story."--Nelson Lichtenstein, University of California, Santa Barbara, and editor of Wal-Mart: the Face of Twenty-First Century Capitalism"The adoption of the modern shipping container may be a close second to the Internet in the way it has changed our lives. It has made products from every corner of the world commonplace and accessible everywhere. It has dramatically cut the cost of transportation and thereby made outsourcing a significant issue. It has transformed the world's port cities, and more. This book, very nicely written, makes a fascinating set of true stories of an apparently mundane subject, and dramatically illustrates how simple innovations can transform our lives."--William Baumol, Director, Berkley Center for Entrepreneurial Studies, author of The Free-Market Innovation Machine"In the second half of the twentieth century, an innovation came along that would transform the way the world did business. . . . I'm not talking about software. I'm talking about the shipping industry, and in particular an innovation you might not have thought much about: the shipping container. It is the subject of an excellent book I read this summer called The Box. . . . The story of this transition is fascinating and reason enough to read the book. But in subtle ways The Box also challenges commonly held views about business and the role of innovation."--Bill Gates, Gatesnotes"Winner of the 2007 Anderson Medal, Society for Nautical Research""Winner of the 2007 Bronze Medal in Finance/Investment/Economics, Independent Publisher Book Awards""Shortlisted for the 2006 Financial Times/Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year""Honorable Mention for the 2006 John Lyman Book Award, Science and Technology category, North American Society for Ocean History"

A book about shipping containers is certainly not a book for everyone. The shipping container did, however, have a profound impact on the world economy and therefore deserves our attention. This book provides a good overview of the history of how the container was developed, how tariffs were developed, how ports and unions were forced to adapt, and the many unforeseen consequences of containers. Although the topic is interesting, the book itself is dry and rather redundant. It is nevertheless recommended for anyone interested in global trade and economics.
I am always curious to find literature about modular transport. With this one I found a classic!It puts container business in the wide context of product development, international trade, financing, politics and changing worklife.At times we can only approach things, if somebody tells us a captivating story about them: Marc Livingstone does it with great attention to detail and an easy to read style.
Man mag es nicht glauben und auch ich hatte meine Zweifel, aber "The box" ist ein hochspannendes Buch. Der Autor schreibt selbst, dass er auf Unverständnis gestoßen ist, wenn er beim Smalltalk erzählt hat, an was für einem Thema er gerade arbeitet, aber wie der Container unsere Welt für immer verändert und die Globalisierung erst so richtig ermöglich hat, wird hier super beschrieben.
Auf amazon.com hat das Buch eine 4.5 Sterne Bewertung. 26 Personen hatten 5 Sterne gegeben. Davon liess ich mich beim Kauf beeinflussen. Das Buch ist interessant, jedoch geht es vor allem um die Geschäfte und die Firmen des Malcolm McLean. Das Buch fokussiert (zu) stark auf die Anfänge des Container Shippings in den USA.
Happy fiftieth birthday to the shipping container, that unexciting, unglamorous cog in the wheels of commerce that just so happened to change the world. Most people might have ignored the import of the box during the past half-century, but economist Marc Levinson offers an insightful tale that will help you appreciate this oft-overlooked advancement. If it weren’t for the container, Levinson argues persuasively, for good or ill, there could be no Wal-Mart and U.S. manufacturing jobs couldn’t have migrated to China. This history lesson recounts the box inventor’s quest and offers some subtle perspective for businesspeople struggling to foretell the future. At times, Levinson bogs down in the details of 1950s labor relations, but his work mostly moves quickly through the highs and lows of the container’s story. We recommend this revealing tale to anyone in the global economy.
I have not yet finished reading this book, but the description lists it as the first book on the history of containerization. I would like to point out that in 2002 Frank Broeze published (posthumous) The Globalisation of the Oceans: Containerisation from the 1950s to the Present.
