Fenomén Baťa

Moravského krále bot Tomáše Baťu u příležitosti stopadesátého výročí jeho narození připomněl v řadě médií historik a zlínský rodák Ondřej Ševeček. Zrod globálního obuvnictví popsal v tematickém čísle časopisu Dějiny a současnost, které rovněž zaštítil jako spolueditor. O takzvaném batismu hovořil v pořadu "Večer na téma" Českého rozhlasu Vltava nebo v článku pro server idnes.cz. V květnu mu v Nakladatelství Argo vyjde spolu s kolektivem autorů titul Válka ševců: Obuv, obuvnictví a obuvnický průmysl v Předlitavsku za Velké války.
