This is the first book to examine in a systematic way the entrepreneurial society of the Welsh Valleys. The book looks at the various sources of wealth in the area - coal, railway building, possession of land in crucial areas, contracting, building, property development, shopkeeping - and the various origins of the first-generation entrepreneurs.

Until now most studies of the Welsh coal boom of the late 1800s and early 1900s have concentrated on the workers and the unions. Instead, in The Entrepreneurial Society of the Rhondda Valleys, 1840–1920, Richard Griffiths focuses his attention on the middle class and reveals how several of these individuals were—by hard work, perseverance, and often creative business practices—able to build up considerable wealth and power.
