Business and Economic Figures

Merchants, industrialists, financiers and economists whose primary historical significance is a business enterprise, a fortune, a trade network or a body of economic thought. Belongs here: founders and heads of major commercial or industrial enterprises, financial and central-bank figures, major trading magnates, and economists whose theoretical work shaped policy. Does not belong here: rulers and statesmen whose control of trade or finance was one function of a largely political office, grouped under Monarchs and Rulers or Statesmen and Political Leaders.
