AMERICAN LITERATURE AND CORPORATE CULTURE
Chris Newfield

The "business of America is business," Calvin Coolidge supposedly said, but whether he said it or not, the saying reflects the fact that the United States has one of the most business-oriented cultures in the world. How has US literary culture responded to this? Does literary culture have a vision of US life that offers an alternative to business culture? What can English majors do with their literary and culture knowledge in the business world? How are new management concepts changing the American workplace and American society?
