Sinopse

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 thanánine million entrepreneurs, it gives new understanding to the development of Britain as the worldâÇÖs âÇÖfirst industrial nationâÇÖ.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 theátwo to fourámillion 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 âÇÖgolden ageâÇÖ 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.
