The book explores the often-overlooked role of commerce and finance in London during the British Industrial Revolution and the Victorian era. It argues that focusing solely on industries and regions has skewed our understanding of economic and social changes. By highlighting the importance of financial services and trade in the metropolis, the author reveals how the south-east maintained its dominance in national wealth, offering a more comprehensive view of this transformative period in British history.
