Britain's role in the mid-nineteenth century as the world's
greatest economic power was an extraordinary phenomenon,
foreshadowed in the Industrial Revolution of the century before and
originating from a unique combination of global and indigenous
factors. In this study Francois Crouzet analyses the growth and -
in late Victorian Britain - decline of the nation's economy,
drawing on an immense amount of quantitative data to examine and
explain its development. The book begins with a macroeconomic
survey of the period, reviewing broad fluctuations in economic
growth and the question of the 'mid-Victorian boom', structural
changes in the balance of the economy, demographic movements,
capital formation and the influence of Free Trade. Professor
Crouzet then goes on to look in detail at the different sectors of
the economy, assessing the effects of the relative decline of
agriculture against industry, the growth of the tertiary sector,
the rise of new industries such as armaments and the transport
revolution. His final chapter analyses the reality of and reasons
for Britain's subsequent decline as a world economic superpower.
This study, first published in 1982, draws together a wide range of
material and provides an invaluable framework for the understanding
of a complex and richly-documented period.
