Entrepreneurship is increasingly being recognized as an important facet of economic history. Popp examines the Shaw family business to present a study of entrepreneurism that puts the family centre stage. This focus on the influence of social relationships marks a new direction in business history, one that provides a more nuanced picture of economic development in nineteenth-century Britain.
"'in this charming study [Popp] has succeeded in his aim of humanising business history, and the implications of his approach are profound'"
