- catalog abstract ""Andrew Godley finally demonstrates the presence of anti-enterpreneurial values in Britain through measuring cultural assimilation and entrepreneurship among a carefully selected control population. Using new evidence of Jewish immigration, mobility and assimilation, Godley shows that, despite similar backgrounds and opportunities, the Jews in London were far less entrepreneurial than those in New York. Godley then reinterprets British twentieth-century economic history, emphasising how these long-standing anti-entrepreneurial and highly conservative craft cultural values among the English working classes acted as a drag on innovation, hampering industrial relations, investment and growth."--Jacket.".
