Widely credited as having established the term 'industrial
revolution' as a historical concept, Arnold Toynbee (1852 83) was
among the most outspoken political economists of the nineteenth
century. This volume is a collection of his Balliol lectures and
other public addresses, originally published posthumously in 1884.
The lectures, often humorous, discuss developments in contemporary
political economy, the views of other commentators, and the impact
on society of this new discipline; viewed as a collection, they
represent one of the first calls for economic history as an
academic subject to be studied separately from political history.
Given during the early 1880s, the popular addresses treat some of
the most important economic topics of the day, from the role of
trade unions to the relationship between wages and production. Also
included in this book are a preface by the author's wife, and a
memoir by his friend and colleague, Benjamin Jowett.
