Aristotle Onassis - the Business History a Global Shipping Tycoon, 1924-1975 by Gelina Harlaftis
Event Description
It is a great honour for CBS Maritime to host this public lecture by professor Gelina Harlaftis, May 14th at 3 pm in Room Ks71.
Professor Harlaftis will present her new book “Onassis Business History, 1924-1973” which is the first academic analysis of the life and career of one the most influential and famous shipping magnates in the 20th century: Aristotle Onassis.
“Onassis became the archetype and image of ship-owning magnate, the symbol of Greek enterprise on a global scale. What distinguished him from the rest was that he created the shipping business of the new global era, combining the European maritime tradition and the American institutions and resources. Almost all books written on Onassis focus on his lifestyle and personal life. This is the first book examining all aspects of his multi-faceted global business activities in the shipping, airline and oil industries. It is based on the newly-formed Onassis Archive comprising thousands of new and unpublished files of his core business”
Gelina Harlaftis, Director of the Institute for Mediterranean Studies of the Foundation of Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH) since 2017. She is a Professor of Maritime History at the University of Crete. She has published 30 books and 70 articles in maritime, economic, business, diaspora, and global history.
