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.
