Book Creating Capitalism

Download or read book Creating Capitalism written by James Taylor and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 2014 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growth of joint-stock business in Victorian Britain re-evaluated, showing in particular the resistance to it. Winner of the Economic History Society's Best First Monograph award 2009 The emergence of the joint-stock company in nineteenth-century Britain was a culture shock for many Victorians. Though the home of the industrialrevolution, the nation's economy was dominated by the private partnership, seen as the most efficient as well as the most ethical form of business organisation. The large, impersonal company and the rampant speculation it was thought to encourage were viewed with suspicion and downright hostility. This book argues that the existing historiography understates society's resistance to joint-stock enterprise; it employs an eclectic range of sources, fromnewspapers and parliamentary papers to cartoons, novels and plays, to unearth this forgotten economic debate. It explores how the legal system was gradually restructured to facilitate joint-stock enterprise, a process culminatingin the limited liability legislation of the mid-1850s. This has typically been interpreted as evidence for the emergence of new, positive attitudes to speculation and economic growth, but the book demonstrates how traditional outlooks continued to influence legislation, and the way in which economic reforms were driven by political agendas. It shows how debates on the economic culture of nineteenth-century Britain are strikingly relevant to current questions over the ethics of multinational corporations. James Taylor is Senior Lecturer in British History at Lancaster University.

Book George Hudson

Book excerpt: * The Robert Maxwell of the nineteenth century * Victorian England 's greatest capitalist * Brought down by a shareholder 's question The building of the railways in Britain in the nineteenth century was the greatest ever industrial undertaking in the world to that time.Financed by private enterprise rather than the state, the schemes to build new lines were characterised both by their ambition and by their need for huge amounts of capital.The most ambitious of all of the individual entrepreneurs, and for long the most successful, was George Hudson, the 'Railway King ', whose establishment of York as the hub of an ever-growing network of lines brought him huge wealth and great fame. Already a wealthy businessman and Lord Mayor of York before the advent of the railways, Hudson seized the opportunity they presented with both hands.He became an MP, lived in style and entertained lavishly.While his early lines were profitable, later ones were not.Ever more deeply committed, at a time when accounting standards were lax, he hid inconvenient figures until brought down by a question at a shareholders 'meeting in 1849.Disgraced, he fled to the Continent, his name synonymous with fraudulent capitalism at its most brazen.This new biography is the fullest examination to date of an extraordinary and complex man and his career.
