The inspiration for this work comes from the words of Adam Smith:
"Consumption is the sole end of and purpose of all production..."
This concentrates, in that spirit, on people rather on things; it
describes the overall income and wealth of Britain, its growth, and
how that income and wealth was produced by and distributed between
different people in the population. Population growth has a central
place, as do the changes in home and workplace, in the
transformation of the lives of successive generations in Victorian
and Edwardian Britain. Between 1830 and 1914 Britain became the
world's major trading nation, carrier of the majority of the
world's goods, by far the largest investor overseas, and the centre
of the world's financial system. It was an exceptional time in the
history of the country and one to which many look back, even a
hundred years later, with nostalgia. This book seeks to describe
and assess what was achieved in those 85 years. This should be of
value to students of British economic and social history,
sociology, from A-level upwards, and general readers interested in
Victorian and Edwardian Britain.
