Fusing theories from political science, management and linguistics, Dannreuther and Perren assert that the idea of the small firm is an important discursive resource used by political actors to legitimise their actions, influence their citizens and help sustain regimes of accumulation. On top of this, the authors also empirically test their claims against 200 years of UK parliamentary debate, from the Industrial Revolution to the Blair government.

This co-authored book pursues three interdependent objectives: firstly, it provides an historical analysis of the problem of SME finance in the UK; secondly, it deepens our understanding of the impact of economic ideas in governance and finally, it contributes theoretical debates over the relationship between power and knowledge by highlighting the significance of non-knowledge. By showing how ideas shaped the boundaries between national/international and state/economy, this volume deepens our understanding of the institutional dynamics of the British economy. As well as addressing debates in international political economy, monetary economics and management the book will also be of interest to those interested in politics, institutional analysis and the sociology of knowledge.
