A Brief History of the British Economy since 1780

Chapter 6 in Rapid Growth and Relative Decline, 1997, pp 109-126 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The history of the British economy has drawn the attention of many leading scholars. Interpretations of distinct sub-periods of this history have been extensively debated — for example, the notion of a ‘Great Depression’ versus that of an ‘Edwardian climacteric’ in the late nineteenth century (Richardson, 1965b; Saul, 1969; Matthews et al., 1982) and the role of new industries in the 1930s economic ‘recovery’ (Richardson, 1962; Dowie, 1968). Others have devoted attention to the formidable task of compiling accurate data to facilitate the economic interpretation of British history (for example, Deane and Cole, 1962; Feinstein 1972; Mitchell, 1988).
