This paper in @entandsoc.bsky.social argues that professional engineers constituted the critical source of managerial expertise in the managerial revolution of circa 1870–1930, using a new data set of 50,000 engineers and their employment record in the global mining and metallurgical sector.

This project began in 2020 under the direction of Edward Beatty (kellogg.nd.edu/people/edwar...) and Israel G. Solares (mmss.iimas.unam.mx/israel-garci...) and with the generous support of
