Starting as a persecuted sect, the Quakers excluded outsiders and maintained a steady vigilance over each other’s affairs. Theirs was an ideal climate for business; they helped and trusted each other, minimizing financial risk. By this means they became a power in the land, and permanently changed the landscape of banking and business in Britain. no reviews | add a review
