		Chicago has been a center for commerce in the United States for most of its since its early days as a city incorporated in 1833.
		That soon changed when in the 1840s Chicago became the largest grain port in the world, shipping food from the Mississippi Valley region which was also growing into the largest food producing region in the world.
		In 1848 Chicago built its first grain elevator, and the Chicago Board of Trade was established.

	Economic Geography
		Chicago's printing and publishing industry, second only to New York's, developed with companies such as R. Donnelley and Sons, which located near the downtown because of the demand for business information and the proliferation of commercial journals.
		Chicago banks had expanded quickly after the Civil War; the city ranked second nationally in banking, manufacturing, wholesaling, and population by the end of the century.
		Chicago businesses reeled during the Great Depression of the 1930s and then boomed because of World War II defense contracts, but the regional shift determined the long-term trend in economic growth and hence in population, and in 1990 Los Angeles surpassed Chicago as the second city in population and wholesaling.

	THE CHICAGO SCHOOL
		Also at Chicago during this time were the "Mathematical Trio" -- Oskar Lange, Henry Schultz and Paul H. Douglas -- economists with a particular bent for the theoretical approach of the Lausanne School.
		It was the Second Chicago School that is often accused of being the modern version of Manchester School liberalism (or, as some maintain, the more conservative tradition of American apologism).
		For the longest time, Chicago was the only school in America not swept by the Keynesian Revolution (the presence of Lloyd A. Metzler for a brief period on the faculty was exceptional).

	Chicago's business worries. By Daniel Gross
		Chicago is immensely protective of its status as a regional and national economic power: "Hog Butcher for the World, Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat, Player with Railroads and the Nation's Freight Handler," as Carl Sandburg put it in "Chicago." The city's business establishment—Sears, Wrigley, the Tribune Co.—has been remarkably close-knit and stable for generations.
		And in Chicago, as is the case in many other cities large and small, the most significant employers are government entities.
		And this study by the Chicago Federal Reserve Board showed that between 1990 and 2000 the number of companies with more than 2,500 employees that were based in Chicago rose from 96 to 109.

	Chicago Tribune \| Economy in the line of fire
		Yet even if the war is short, the U.S. economy remains too weak to bounce back strongly, said David Wyss, chief economist at Standard and Poor's Corp. Businesses remain burdened by overinvestment from the 1990s, and demand for U.S. goods is weak worldwide.
		But in the job market, where it counts for most Americans, the war could cause higher unemployment if U.S. forces are not successful quickly.
		And even if the war is short, he said, it would take time before the recovery gathers enough steam to drive stock prices higher.
