This landmark research volume provides the first detailed history
of entrepreneurship in Britain from the nineteenth century to the
present. Using a remarkable new database of more than nine million
entrepreneurs, it gives new understanding to the development of
Britain as the world's 'first industrial nation'. Based on the
first long-term whole-population analysis of British small
business, it uses novel methods to identify from the 10-yearly
population census the two to four million people per year who
operated businesses in the period 1851-1911. Using big data
analytics, it reveals how British businesses evolved over time,
supplementing the census-derived data on individuals with other
sources on companies and business histories. By comparing to modern
data, it reveals how the late-Victorian period was a 'golden age'
for smaller and medium-sized business, driven by family firms, the
accelerating participation of women and the increasing use of
incorporation as significant vehicles for development. A unique
resource and citation for future research on entrepreneurship, of
crucial significance to economic development policies for small
business around the world, and above all the key entry point for
researchers to the database which is deposited at the UK Data
Archive, this major publication will change our understanding of
the scale and economic significance of small businesses in the
nineteenth century.
