Can training for business actually be provided by schools? If so, what type of training is most effective? Should businessmen be trained as generalists or specialists? Questions such as these are not the special product of educational turmoil in our day and age. This article examines a little known but highly significant eighteenth-century document which points to the origin of the business-school concept, and affords a unique opportunity to see current ideological differences in historical perspective.
