The History of Modern Whaling
Bjorn Bassberg is an economist who grew up in the 1960s. His thesis was about whaling and patterns, which he has stuck with ever since. The Norwegian industry kept innovating by building huge whaling ships that Bosberg calls floating factories. American entrepreneurs diverted their interest into other industries instead of focusing on whale-hunting.
