This pioneering 1997 study examines the economic development of the
British paper industry between 1860 and 1914 - an era in which it
is often claimed that the origins of Britain's relative economic
decline are first witnessed. For paper-making, this was also a
period in which an array of important new forces, including inter
alia the development of new raw materials and the move to ever
larger scales of production, came on the scene. Gary Bryan Magee
looks at the effect of these changes and assesses how effectively
the industry coped with the new pressures, drawing upon an
extensive range of quantitative and archival sources from Britain,
America, and other countries. Along the way, Dr Magee addresses
issues central to the understanding of industrial competitiveness,
such as technological change, entrepreneurship, productivity, trade
policy, and industrial relations.
