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.

First Published in 2005. The Irish Report is a scarce document, known to comparatively few economists. This reprint of the Report and of portions of the Minutes of Evidence, set against the historical background, will not only be of interest to the student of monetary theory and of monetary history, but also help to give perspective on some present-day problems of monetary and exchange policy, particularly in the countries of the sterling area. The Irish Report was frequently cited in the pamphlet literature of the time, and in Parliamentary debate, and discussed in detail the exchange situation between Ireland and England.

First Published in 2005.It is the primary object of this study to endeavour to elucidate the main causes of the rapid growth of population in England in the 18th and early 19th centuries, with special reference to the period 1750-1815. This enquiry is narrow in time and place but deals with the time and place in which the rapid growth of population had its origin. In pursuit of the main subject of this enquiry certain aspects of the period, previously often ignored, have been brought, into clearer perspective.

This book was first published in 1966. It was surprising that so small and so remote a country as Switzerland should have played such an important part in the industrial revolution on the Continent in the nineteenth century. A lack of natural resources and basic raw materials and population of 1,687,000 in 1817, faraway trade ports, and until 1848 no real central government with the administrative structure to support expansion of manufacturers. However, the people were hardworking, thrifty and high standards of workmanship; and had good relations with France and Germany, which saw the watchmakers, silkweavers and chocolate crafters start to thrive. Johann Conrad Fischer was typical of the entrepreneurs who laid the foundations of Switzerland's prosperity with his steelworks.

First Published in 2005. In this book, the author seeks to apply a self-described broad approach to American economic growth and to place the process within the mainstream of American history. This approach establishes that economic growth involves far more than economics; most students of growth view that process as one which cuts across the boundaries of the disciplines within the social sciences. After a brief introduction of the subject of the book, Bruchey further discusses the need for such guidance and tries to make clear what it is that has directed his own path in this field.
Y. S. Brenner is an economist whose main concern is with
development, and this attitude is reflected in his approach to
economic history.
This book was first published in 1981.
This book was first published in 1966. The city of Nottingham grew from the nucleus of a smaller and older town to become one of the nation's leading industrial centres, and although it was not a product of the industrial revolution Nottingham was completely transformed by it. For most of the nineteenth century the major activities were the production of hosiery by an industry whose methods, organization, and outlook remained traditional for many decades, and the manufacture of machine-made lace, a progressive and mechanized industry which from its early years featured factory production. This text explores the relationship between the development of power based machinery and the more traditional crafts of the area.
This book was first published in 1967. This volume explores the history of the British iron and steel industry from 1760, tracking its development, relationship with the British economy, regional hubs, technological developments and the final triumph of steel over iron.
This book of essays, which draws on the expertise of leading
textile scholars in Britain and the United States, focuses on the
problem of and responses to foreign competition in textiles from
the late nineteenth century to the present day.

Of all the activities of the most neglected century in English
History, England's tradce has received the least attention in
proportion to its importance. It was obviously in the course of the
later Middle Ages, and more particularly in the fifteenth century,
that there took place the great transformation from medieval
England, isolated and intensely local, to the England of the Tudor
and Stuart age, with its world-wide connections and imperial
designs. It was during the same period that most of the forms of
international trade characteristic of the Middle Ages were replaced
by new methods of commercial organization and regulation, national
in scope and at times definitely nationalistic in object, and that
a marked movement towards capitalist methods and principles took
place in the sphere of domestic trade. Yet little has been written
concerning English trade in this period.
This book was first published in 1935. An exploration of the 'two nations' looking the medieval managed currency and its collapse, the failure of the Stuarts through to Bishop Berkeley, the corn law revolts, Ireland and America, to the 1920s and prosperity, crisis and counter attack in 1935. |
