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.

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.

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.

Rupert Murdoch, the media mogul often likened to a modern-day Citizen Kane, has a life story that mirrors the twists and turns of a classic rags-to-riches tale. Born in 1931, Murdoch inherited a crumbling media empire at the age of 22 after his father’s death. His early career was marked by a hands-on approach to reviving failing newspapers in Australia, using sensationalism to boost circulation. This controversial strategy laid the foundation for his media empire, News Corp.
Murdoch’s rise wasn’t without challenges. He faced legal battles, such as a libel case involving the defense of an Aboriginal man accused of murder. However, his business acumen and willingness to pivot towards scandal-driven content helped him expand rapidly. By 1965, he had launched Australia’s first national daily paper, The Australian, overcoming the logistical challenges of distributing news across the vast country.
His ambitions soon extended beyond Australia. In 1968, Murdoch entered the UK market, transforming The Sun and News of the World into highly profitable tabloids through sensationalist journalism. By 1973, he had set his sights on the United States, acquiring various newspapers and founding new ones, including the New York Post.
Murdoch’s influence grew exponentially with the advent of television. In 1985, he launched Fox News, a 24-hour news channel that revolutionised the media landscape with its right-wing commentary and sensationalist approach. Fox News became a powerful political force, influencing election cycles and public opinion. However, Murdoch’s own political leanings remain ambiguous; despite Fox News’ pro-Trump stance, Murdoch has been openly critical of the former president.
Murdoch’s personal life has been as tumultuous as his career. He has been married four times and has six children, some of whom are deeply involved in his media empire. His marriages and divorces have often made headlines, adding another layer of intrigue to his public persona.
The phone-hacking scandal involving News of the World was a significant blemish on Murdoch’s career. The revelation that journalists had hacked the phones of celebrities and even a murdered schoolgirl led to public outrage and legal repercussions. Murdoch’s attempts to manage the fallout, including a staged PR-friendly speech, did little to salvage his reputation. The scandal heightened public distrust in the media and marked a turning point in Murdoch’s career.
As Murdoch approaches his 90s, questions arise about the future of his media empire. The rise of social media and alternative journalism platforms like YouTube and Twitter pose significant challenges to traditional media giants like News Corp. Murdoch’s legacy is under threat, not just from external competition but also from internal family dynamics, as his children vie for control of the empire.
Murdoch’s story is a complex one, marked by ambition, controversy, and undeniable influence. Whether his empire will adapt to the changing media landscape or crumble under its own weight remains to be seen. What is clear is that Rupert Murdoch’s impact on the media industry is profound and lasting, for better or worse.

Between 1990 and 1992, #Toronto pizza chain, Pizza Pizza took former VP Paul Gillespie to court after he left and started Chicken Chicken, a quick service and delivery chicken restaurant (with a similar 30min or it’s free delivery guarantee, and centralized call center). Yesterday, I was shocked to see Chicken Chicken appear as a ghost kitchen on Uber Eats (sold from Pizza Pizza locations). Looks like the TM was bought back! #FoodHistory #BusinessHistory #Histodons #CdnHist
