First published in 1954, this volume presents a description and
analysis of trends in the structure, organisation and technique of
the distributive trades in the United Kingdom from 1850 to 1950.
Special attention in the work was given to the growth of
large-scale retailing and changes in the character of
consumer-demand and shopping habits in the shops themselves and in
retailing techniques. The study was intended to provide a
contribution to a little-explored aspect of the social and economic
history of the British people and to the economics of distribution
and of scale in distribution. This book is complementary to the
earlier study issued by the National Institute of Economic and
Social Research - The Distribution of Consumer Goods (Cambridge,
1950) - which examined the costs and methods of distribution in one
year. It will remain of value to anyone interested in the history
and development of the British economy.
Originally published in 1950, this book is one of a series of
studies regarding the structure of the British economy which were
produced by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research
after the Second World War. It was produced in collaboration with a
group of leading businessmen, all of whom were concerned in one way
or another with the distribution of consumer goods and dissatisfied
with the existing state of knowledge about distribution. The study
represented a substantial advance in the knowledge of distribution
and an important contribution to structural economics. It will
remain of value to anyone with an interest in the development of
the British economy.
