Britains role in the mid-nineteenth century as the worlds 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 nations 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 Britains
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.
