However, this chapter uses the business correspondence of a late eighteenth century entrepreneur to explore the similarities between contemporary business networks and those conducted by letters carried across the Atlantic under conditions of war. It concludes that identical techniques and practices to those used electronically today were well established in the later eighteenth century and allowed entrepreneurs to develop effective business models that are still common today",
