Abstract: This paper reviews the existing literature on the collective biographical study of British businessmen. C. Erickson carried out a classic study with regard to the steel and hosiery industries in the period of 1850-1950 as early as 1959. Many other stu-dies have since appeared, but they were largely in line with Erickson's work in terms of issue, unit of measurement and time span. Even the large collecting of data on British businessmen, which became available in the 1980s, have not led to a more comprehensive study testing, confirming or generalizing the Ericson's legacy.
