This book provides a fascinating insight into the development of
the nineteenth century Atlantic economy and the nature of
contemporary migration. In particular the author argues that the
assumption that the United States economy was the unmoved mover in
the fluctuations of the international economy between 1860 and 1913
is incorrect. He presents evidence on regional housebuilding cycles
in nineteenth-century Britain and shows that the British cycle was
inverse to the American, and that both were primarily determined by
demographic factors. From the mid-nineteenth century, Professor
Thomas concludes, the countries of new settlement - America,
Canada, Argentina and Australia - experienced long swings in urban
development opposite in timing to those in Britain, the principal
suppliers of funds. The result was a converse pattern of capital
formation and export upsurges in Britain and her overseas
borrowers. This book was first published in 1972.
