The nineteenth century was a time of rapid change in forms of
organization of economic activity. A central feature of such change
was, inevitably, the development of new types of finance adapted to
the radically new environment. An appreciation of the history of
these developments makes a substantial contribution to the
understanding of the growth and development of the British economy
in one of its most dramatic phases. Philip Cottrell has written an
impressively documented full-scale survey of this crucial period,
discussing finance in the context of sweeping reforms of company
law, unprecedented technological change and economic expansion, and
the institutional effects of all of these. He is primarily
concerned with English manufacturing industry but frequently
refers, by way of comparison, to extractive industry, Scottish and
Welsh developments and the economies of other West European
countries. As well as providing a comprehensive overview, the book
pays particular attention to coal, iron and textiles amongst the
industries and, at the level of organization, to the emergence of
the joint stock limited liability company and its gradual adoption
by industrialists. The relationship between commercial banks and
manufacturing receives detailed consideration and the role of
internally accumulated funds and trade credit is discussed. this
classic book was first published in 1980.
