The emergence of the joint-stock company
in nineteenth-century Britain was a
culture shock for many Victorians. Though
the home of the industrial revolution,
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,
employing an eclectic range of sources,
from newspapers 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 culminating
in the limited liability legislation of
the
хткНбБОѕ.
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 will be
relevant for anyone interested not only in
the economic culture of nineteenth-century
Britain, but also the twenty-first century
debate on the ethics of multinational
corporations.
JAMES TAYLOR is Lecturer in British
History at Lancaster University.
