Growth in the Inter-War Period: Some More Arithmetic

J. A. Dowie

Chapter 4 in Economic Growth in Twentieth-century Britain, 1969, pp 55-79 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This paper is concerned with the similarity (or otherwise) of the growth performance of the British economy during the 1920s and 1930s and with the usefulness of the ‘new-old’ industry dichotomy in illuminating the trends of the inter-war period: two of the main topics which have attracted the interest of economic historians in recent years. But because an adequate historical perspective seems to be lacking in some of their writing, we begin by seeing how the inter-war period as a whole emerges from recent statistical work on long-term growth.
