First Published in 2005. This book is a part of the studies in Economic and Political Science series and is a study of the British Clothing Trades. The first aim is to describe the present-day structure and localization of the Clothing Industry in Great Britain. The second is to compare existing conditions in the industry with those which prevailed some twenty years ago and to determine the causes to which the changes which have taken place are due.

Most historical accounts of economic policy set out to describe the
way in which governments have attempted to solve their economic
problems and to achieve their economic objectives. Jim Tomlinson,
however, focuses on the problems themselves, arguing that the way
in which areas of economic policy become problems for policy makers
is always problematic itself, that it is never obvious and never
happens naturally.
First Published in 2005. This book is written for the general reader and not for the specialist. It is an attempt to put the Industrial Revolution in its place in history, and to give an idea both of its significance and of the causes that determined the age and the society in which it began. The book is divided into three parts: in part one authors discuss the development of commerce before the Industrial Revolution; part two describes the changes in transport which preceded the railways, the dissolution of the peasant village, the destruction of custom in industry, and the free play that capital found in consequence. Part three examines the first social effects of the change from a peasant to an industrial civilization.
The economic history of the Middle East and North Africa is quite

After the end of the Second World War businessmen and economists
throughout the world feared that the American postwar inflationary
boom would end in a serious slump. The slump took a long time to
come, and when it did appear in 1949 it was both mild and short
lived. In its mildness and brevity it foreshadowed the American
business recessions since that time and, indeed, may foreshadow the
end of the business cycle as it has been known in the past. This
book presents the first full-scale study of the 194849 recession in
the United States, making it the focal point of a detailed,
analytical account of American business fluctuations from the end
of the Second World War until the beginning of the Korean War. The
main part of the book is prefaced by a review of fluctuations from
1945 to 1967 and of the business cycle theory, which places the
postwar events in perspective. Of special importance are the
studies of the ending, in early 1948, of the period of re-stocking
and re-equipment; of the impact of the changedfarm situation in
this deflationary atmosphere, and use of modern consumption theory
to explain the changes in household spending after the war and
during the recession.

The pit brow lasses who sorted coal and performed a variety of jobs
above ground at British coal mines prompted a violent debate about
womens work in the nineteenth century.
Technical changes in the first half of the nineteenth century led
to unprecedented economic growth and capital formation throughout
Western Europe; and yet Ireland hardly participated in this process
at all. While the Northern Atlantic Economy prospered, the Great
Irish Famine of 184550 killed a million and a half people and
caused hundreds of thousands to flee the country. Why the Irish
economy failed to grow, and why Ireland starved remains an
unresolved riddle of economic history.
Dr Dorothy Marshall covers a vital period in English social
development, during which the traditional social hierarchy of order
and degree was giving place to a class society marked by the growth
of a self-conscious working class.
This is a fascinating insight into some of the most important
thinking of the industrial revolution in Israel. Technological revolution, rapid industrialization and higher
levels of productivity all drew more and more people from the
agricultural workforce and new ideas were needed to combat this
serious loss of labour. At the time this book was first published, Professor Halperim's
had somthing new and original to offer. He argued that agriculture
could be combined with industry without undermining that age-old
social asset, the village community, and bring it into line with
changing conditions. As he predicted the development of areas comprising a score or more of villages, ranging around non-agriculture has been preserved, and rural society has continued to exist although it has assumed different forms. The name proposed by the author for this new formation is Agrindus, as it expresses the integration of AGRiculture and INDUStries.

First Published in 2005. This book has been written as an outline history of the development of Japanese business. A good deal of literature exists on some aspects, and some periods, but this is the first attempt to follow the entire course from the Tokugawa period to the present, and to analyse the salient features from the vantage point of modernisation. A separate section in each chapter deals exclusively with the value problem and the impact of values on business and economic development. The Glossary gives an explanation of Japanese terms that are used in the text.

Biographies of Frederick the Great generally emphasise the
military and diplomatic events of his reign and neglect to discuss
fully the significance of his economic policy. In this series of essays Dr. Henderson deals with various aspects of the Prussian economy in Frederick the Great's reign. He describes Frederick's commercial policy, the reconstruction of Prussia after the Seven Years War and the state of the Prussian economy in 1780's, showing that alone among his contemporaries Frederick left his country with a far more flourishing economy than it had been when he ascended the throne. The role of the private entrepreneur in Prussia at this time is illustrated by surveys of the careers of the merchants Splitgerber and Gotzkowsky who promoted the expansion of Prussia's armament, silk and porcelain industries. This book was first published in 1963.
First Published in 2005. In the decade of the sixties, which brought so many disappointments to the British people, one signal achievement stands out: the revival of "The City"-London's financial district-as a major centre of international finance. To work in the City now seems to hold the promise of moving up fast, not merely to good pay and good social standing but to an early share of responsibility. George Lewis French Bolton was born in 1900 and started work in the City before he was seventeen. This volume is a collection of works by Sir George Bolton on the revival of the City from 1957 to 1970.
