University of Cambridge: Family fortunes founded on slavery. “More than 600 letters, photos and papers – pieced together over 20 years from auction sites such as eBay – paint a vivid picture of a British dynasty who profited from enslaving people during the 18th and 19th centuries and indenturing people into the 20th century. The first tranche of the collection is now open to researchers […]

I read this account of the rise and fall of Victoria's Secret over the weekend. If you're looking for a cultural studies text on this once iconic lingerie business, this book is not for you. The authors are fashion business journalists and "Selling Sexy" is a well sourced rag trade business history. I enjoyed learning more about the rise of specialty retail in the USA, outsourcing to Asia, and similar apparel industry topics, but others might find this material dry.
Yet the very nature of the business requires the authors to discuss marketing and image, which they do with a good grasp of race, ethnicity, and physique in the development of the various Victoria's Secret fantasy worlds. The narrative also describes, without pretending to explain completely, the still mysterious spell that Jeffrey Epstein cast over VS boss Leslie Wexner. In the final chapters of the book, the authors give a good account of how Victoria's Secret failed to adapt to the new age of #MeToo, the shaming of fatshamers, and Instagram influencers.
Although the book is not supposed to be a coffee table volume, I was disappointed by the paucity and limited range of illustrations, as a larger selection would have more clearly shown the changes in VS marketing over the years.
A rewarding read overall that made me think more about the pressures and desires women face when choosing, combining, or rejecting the pretty, the sexy, and the comfy.

The world of work has experienced a monumental shift in recent years, with remote work emerging as a dominant force in the business landscape. Driven by technological advancements, changing attitudes, and the global pandemic, remote work has become a popular topic in today’s current business news. In this blog post, we will delve into the rise of remote work and explore how it is shaping the future of business.
1. The Pandemic Accelerated the Remote Work Trend:
The COVID-19 pandemic acted as a catalyst for remote work, forcing businesses worldwide to adopt remote work models to ensure operational continuity. Organizations rapidly transitioned to remote work setups, leveraging digital tools and technologies to facilitate collaboration, communication, and productivity. As a result, businesses and employees alike witnessed the benefits of remote work, such as increased flexibility, reduced commute times, and improved work-life balance.
2. Enhanced Productivity and Efficiency:
Contrary to initial concerns, remote work has proven to enhance productivity and efficiency for many businesses. Employees often report higher concentration levels, fewer distractions, and the ability to create a personalized work environment that optimizes their performance. Remote work eliminates the need for lengthy commutes, office-related interruptions, and allows employees to work during their most productive hours. Furthermore, remote work enables companies to tap into global talent pools, fostering diversity and expertise within their teams.
3. Cost Savings and Sustainability:
Remote work offers significant cost savings for both businesses and employees. Companies can reduce expenses related to office space, utilities, and maintenance, resulting in substantial financial benefits. Employees, on the other hand, can save on commuting costs, dining out, and work-related clothing. Additionally, remote work contributes to a more sustainable future by reducing carbon emissions associated with daily commutes and office buildings.
4. The Evolution of Digital Collaboration Tools:
The rise of remote work has prompted a surge in the development and adoption of digital collaboration tools. Video conferencing platforms, project management software, instant messaging applications, and cloud-based storage solutions have become essential for remote teams to communicate, collaborate, and coordinate their efforts. As businesses increasingly invest in these tools, we can expect continued innovation and enhancements to facilitate seamless remote work experiences.
5. Challenges and Solutions:
While remote work offers numerous advantages, it also presents challenges that businesses must address. Maintaining team cohesion, fostering a sense of belonging, and combating isolation are key concerns. To overcome these challenges, companies are implementing virtual team-building activities, regular check-ins, and creating opportunities for social interactions. Furthermore, clear communication channels, goal setting, and performance measurement frameworks are crucial to ensure accountability and productivity in remote work environments.
In conclusion, the rise of remote work is transforming the business landscape, offering numerous benefits for companies and employees alike. The pandemic acted as a catalyst, accelerating the adoption of remote work models and demonstrating their viability. As we move forward, remote work is expected to continue shaping the future of business, with digital collaboration tools evolving and companies rethinking traditional work structures. By embracing remote work, businesses can tap into a global talent pool, enhance productivity, reduce costs, and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Just finished this little volume, which in France has seen substantial sales well beyond academia and translation into a number of languages.
Chapoutot uses the career of sometime SS officer turned postwar business school leader Reinhard Höhn to make connections between the social darwinism of the Nazis, "classical liberalism", and modern management.
I'm not qualified to pronounce on the soundness of the business history, but I found the discussion of Nazi hostility to the state and the corporate jargon of "empowerment" illuminating.
