Covering the period from November 1918 to the restoration of the
Gold Standard in the UK in April 1925, this book, originally
published in 1947, sets out and explains the economic facts of the
immediate post-war period. There are sections on employment,
production, government intervention in industry, the monetary
factor, real income and real wages. A statistical appendix brings
together in four sections a number of important tables which
supplement the text.
A.C. Pigou spent his career in the shadow of Marshall and Keynes
and his contributions have seemed small by comparison, but his
influence remains significant. He is regarded by many as the father
of modern public finance and welfare theory, as the way that
economists analyze and justify government intervention in economic
affairs stems from Pigou. Following on from A. C. Pigou's 1903
pamphlet, The Riddle of the Tariff, this book, originally published
in 1906, is a more technical treatment, leaning on the Marshalian
apparatus and coming out against the policy of Imperial preference.
Rejecting the idea of an equilibrium business cycle, this book,
originally published in 1927, studies those industrial fluctuations
which extend over short spans of years: cyclical fluctuations. The
causes of these cycles are discussed and the consequences which
result and way in which to mitigate these consequences with regard
to social well-being are examined. Although Pigou's approach went
out of fashion following Keynes, it is similar in spirit to much of
the late twentieth-century work stimulated by real business cycle
theory.
