A new paperback edition of the well-known study by the leading
international expert on wealth formation and the wealthy in the
19th and 20th centuries in Britain. It is the first book by a
historian to analyse who were the very rich. Until very recently
surprisingly little was known on this beyond anecdotes and
stereotypical impressions. The revelatory study is largely based on
a detailed, comprehensive analysis of the probate records of wealth
at death, and on income tax and other objective sources. From these
has been built up a full picture of the occupations, social origins
and career patterns of the very rich in Britain since the early
19th century. The study includes both businessmen and great
landowners. This edition also includes chapters on the wealthy in
Britain in the more recent period 1940-80.
