The theme of economic decline has dominated research into the
modern economic history of the United Kingdom. Scholars have
charted its fall from pre-eminence since the late nineteenth
century and the loss of its position as the world's leading
industrial nation. This authoritative two volume set provides a
representative selection of the seminal contributions which have
stimulated debate and research on this topic, and demonstrates the
variety of views and the richness and quality of research by
British and American scholars on the development of the modern
British economy.The first volume provides a broad overview of
Britain's growth and examines the general problems of growth and
decline from late Victorian and Edwardian times to the present. The
final section and the opening sections of Volume II are devoted to
the principal factors which have been advanced as explanations for
Britain's apparent inability to sustain its competitive position.
Volume I concludes with a selection of articles on the quality of
perfomance of British entrepreneurs and managers and their response
to technical change. Volume II covers major themes including the
attitudes of labour and trades unions, the contribution of
education, science and technology to economic growth, the influence
of capital markets and imperialism, and the effects of
international trade and demand on the British economy. In
conclusion, some specific studies of key industries have been
chosen to illustrate many of these general themes.
