Although business history has been recognized as an academic subject since the 1970s, the insights of scholarly business historians in the UK have not been widely accessible to students. This book is designed to fill that gap by serving as a suitable textbook on which a one- or two- semester course might be based. The text draws on recent research and key debates to clearly outline the major aspects of business behavior in 20th-century Britain. Moreover, it presumes little prior knowledge of history, business, or economics on the student's part. Each chapter is clearly structured, containing objectives, contents, learning points, discussion questions, and tips for further reading. The book is highly accessible, and the use of tables, "key idea" boxes, charts, and maps results in a lively presentation of data.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Jeremy provides an excellent account of the transition of British businesses from the Victorian to the so-called global contemporary economic environment and the relative decline in British macro-economic performance that should satisfy students and professors. The usual 'hard' micro-economic topics are here....equally important, jeremy also examines the softer--or less quantifiable--issues that have only recently gained the attention of some economic/business historians."--Albion
