In the period between the 1840s and the 1920s the British economy
was transformed, from small-scale capitalism dominated by
individual traders and partnerships to a complex financial
structure dominated by large, joint-stock companies. The tremendous
growth of big business created a world of new opportunities for
criminal exploitation. The promotion and management of public
companies and the trading of commercial securities proved
vulnerable to the white-collar crimes of fraud and embezzlement.
Problems of financial fraud were exacerbated by a climate of
laissez-faire which championed the most permissive commercial
legislation in the world, and white-collar crime wreaked havoc on
the modern British economy. This new book examines the spread of
white-collar crime from the Victorian period to the early twentieth
century and offers a new perspective on modern scandals.
