This is a study of the relationship between capitalism and Christianity in twentieth-century Britain. Jeremy examines the collective biographies of three business leaders in order to answer the questions: How did the churches shape the thinking of future business leaders? What impact did Christianity have on big business? How has the participation of business people in religious life affected the major Protestant denominations? Drawing on a wide range of sources, including newspapers and journals, unpublished records, and interviews, Jeremy has produced a thought-provoking analysis of a relationship that could be both tense and fruitful. His insights into the private faith and business ethics of leading entrepreneurs and businessmen are underpinned by intensive quantitative analysis, making this an invaluable study of the interactions between two vital strands in twentieth-century British history.

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.
