This uniquely comprehensive study explores all aspects of the
English business community as it developed between 1590 and 1720.
Drawing on largely untapped records of private firms as well as on
institutional archives, Richard Grassby describes and explains the
economic and technical structure of business in a pre-industrial
economy and examines the ways in which social values, demographic
factors, the family, the state and religion distributed talent,
trained and motivated businessmen and determined their life style.
The important conclusion which emerges from his study is that
individual initiative and a fluid social structure largely account
for differences in response to economic opportunities between
England and other pre-industrial societies. His book offers an
empirically based analysis of why men entered business, how they
lived and worked and what they achieved, and it will appeal to all
who wish to understand the dynamics of pre-industrial growth and
the interaction between business and society.
