This monograph - based largely on memoirs, diaries, archival
documents and other primary sources - represents a comprehensive
social history of the Moscow merchants in the period between 1855
and 1905. The author first examines the essential aspects of
traditional merchant culture in the early nineteenth century. He
then discusses the emergence of 'capitalist' manufacturers and
traders, a group who implemented modern business techniques in the
1840s without however, adopting the political liberalism of the
western bourgeoisie. Committed to economic modernisation as a means
of redressing Russia's humiliation in the Crimean War, these
merchants cooperated with sympathetic intellectuals in railroad
management, banking, journalism and the struggle to gain tariff
protection. The study concludes with an analysis of the 'bourgeois'
class consciousness that resulted from the Moscow
commercial-industrial leaders' conflicts with both the tsarist
government and the militant labour movement during the Revolution
of 1905. Owen contributes to discussions about the distinctive
features of Russian social and economic development in the final
years of the Russian Empire.
