REVIEW GENTLEMANLY CAPITALISM 1850-1914
Quotes, bibliography
Point in intro – definition
Gentlemanly capitalism paid homage to the term official mind. It aimed to link imperial policy
makers decisions the official mind referred to, with the landed élite’s business interests.
Point one – socio-cultural
Point two – economics
Point three – political – link to gvt, pol interests of factories
Point one – socio-cultural
Gentlemanly capitalism faces critique for its too narrow focus on the upper social group. As
ELEPHANT said, ‘gentlemanly’ pulls most of the weight in Cain and Hopkins’ definition. From the
1850’s the newly emerging élite set the cultural tone. Sharing the same Christian values emphasizing
public service as fostered by public schools, Cain and Hopkins glossed over discrepancies as family
disputes, emphasizing like-mindedness in the service sector. Indeed, family dynasties like (ELEPHANT
c&h egs) had lots of industries abroad. Such that ELEPHANT diamond wanted to go to Oxford but sad
that he couldn’t. Genetic make up of gentalmanly capitalism eg Scottish/welsh influence on direction
Daunton said not as closed a group, more fluid group where industrialists could come in.
