Abstract
Al Rainnie's paper is an attempt to understand the role and importance of small businesses in advanced capitalism. Arguing against widely held myths about small businesses, he claims they should not be viewed as anachronistic survivors of a bygone age destined for destruction. He suggests rather they are an integral part of Thatcher's Britain.Keywords
