| Beschreibung: | Foreword by George Osbourne and introduction by Andrew Godley Includes bibliographical references and index The story so far -- Slow growth -- Grown-up moneylending -- Looking after the ladies -- Whatever happened to the old clo' man? -- Where there's muck there's brass -- The sum of the whole is greater than the sum of the individual parts -- The media story -- Eat, drink and be merry -- Chicken soup plus -- The motor age -- There's no business like ... -- Someone has to be a developer -- The new clo' man -- The new world of information technology -- The will to survive -- Appendix A, Jews who contributed to the British economy -- Appendix B, Jewish property companies "Over the centuries, arguments have raged over whether or not Britain should be welcoming toward immigrants. This is a book about a tiny proportion of the immigrants to whom Britain did grant asylum, refuge, and liberty. It is the first detailed examination into the survival and economic growth of the Jews in Britain. In Stuart times, the Jews amounted to a few hundred people. Today, there are still only 300,000 Jews in Britain. When they came to that country as impoverished immigrants, they had no jobs, little education, and could not speak English. And yet, some went on to run the biggest business empires in the country. Illustrated throughout, 'Thank You for Your Business' details the astonishing contribution Jews have made over the years to the British economy: how they sustained the currency through many wars; how they invented jigsaw puzzles and postcards; and the creation of such household names as Lyons, Glaxo, Burtons, Shell, ICI, Ladbrokes, and many more. The book examines the background of their founders to see what enabled them to spot opportunities that others missed, and how they overcame obstacles and succeeded where others failed. Over 350 firms are examined to describe the survival and economic growth of the Jews in Britain and to assess the contribution of their cultural and religious background to the success of these entrepreneurs."--Publisher's website |
