This is a detailed account of the British and German steel
industries' performances during three decades that were marked by
radical changes in technology, in sources of raw materials and in
product markets. Relying on governmental and corporate archives as
well as on the contemporary trade literature, Professor Wengenroth
has drawn a meticulous picture of how managements in the two
countries met strategic problems raised by these changes. The
author does not however, merely trace technological developments;
rather he uses them as a backdrop for a contribution to the
long-running debate on Britain's relative industrial decline in the
late nineteenth century. Was this the result of massive
entrepreneurial failure or was it merely the by-product of
evolutionary changes that bestowed automatic competitive advantage
on latecomers such as the Germans? The author argues a detailed
case for the latter scenario and, in doing so, makes a major
contribution to the debate on the 'Great Depression'.
