Manne en Maatskappye by Eric Rosenthal is an engaging and historically significant Afrikaans work exploring the development of early Afrikaner business figures, industries, and commercial enterprises in South Africa. Published in 1963 by Human & Rousseau in Kaapstad, this hardcover volume provides an insightful overview of pioneering Afrikaner entrepreneurs, financiers, manufacturers, traders, printers, and cooperative movements that helped shape the country’s economic landscape.
Well-known South African historian Eric Rosenthal presents the subject in an accessible and readable style while maintaining strong historical value. The contents include discussions on the earliest Afrikaans capitalists, financiers, Voortrekker businessmen, publishers and printers, wholesalers, retailers, cooperative societies, and the growth of Afrikaner participation in commerce and industry.
