Traditional narratives of capitalist change often rely on the myth of the willful entrepreneur from the global North who transforms the economy and delivers modernity—for good or ill—to the rest of the world. With
Cigarettes, Inc.,
Nan Enstad upends this story, revealing the myriad cross-cultural encounters that produced corporate life before World War II.

Cigarettes, Inc.
teems with a global cast—from Egyptian, American, and Chinese entrepreneurs to a multiracial set of farmers, merchants, factory workers, marketers, and even baseball players, jazz musicians, and sex workers. Through their stories,
