This comprehensive study explores all aspects of the English business community from around 1590 to 1720. Drawing on private firm records and institutional archives, Grassby examines the economic-technical structure of pre-industrial enterprise and how social values, family, religion, the state, and demography shaped who entered business, how they operated, and the lifestyles they led.
