1. Labour History and the Labour Movement in Britain

Author

Subjects
Working class--History.--Great Britain, Labor movement--History.--Great Britain, Working class--Political activity--History. --, Wages--History.--Great Britain
Abstract

This volume focuses on labour history in Britain, but brings in comparative material on the Continent, in particular inter-war Germany. Special attention is given to wages and living and working conditions in the 19th century, to Robert Owen and Co-operation, and to the modern trade union movement and its attempts to keep up the interests of its members in the fluctuating conditions of the late 19th and earlier 20th centuries. The author defends the notion that wage-earners have common interests and frequently share common experiences, and that their organisations have both a strictly economic aspect (trade unions) and a wider political dimension. The profound changes which the labour organisations underwent in the 19th and 20th centuries are a major concern of these essays.

2. Essays on the Industrial Revolution in Britain

Author

HC254.5
Abstract

This volume has three main themes. First, there is the concept of the Industrial Revolution and its main characteristics, and the author defends both the term and the notions behind it against attempts to play down their significance. A particular interest is the comparison of what happened to Britain with similar processes in other European countries. The second theme is the set of problems facing the early entrepreneurs and managers. Their difficulties, as pioneers in the economic as well as the social sphere, are often underrated, and are here explored in detail. Last, there is an emphasis on the characteristic feature of industrialisation as a regional phenomenon, and on the significance of particular regions in the entire process. All three themes have called forth extended debate, in which these essays have played an important part.

14. The Wasting of the British Economy (Routledge Revivials)

Author

Sidney Pollard and Sidney Pollard

Subjects
Public housing--England, House selling--England
Abstract

Originally published in 1982, this book examines the problem and looks at the causes of the repeated crises which the country has undergone since the war. The basic cause is stated to be the failure to invest in the modernisation of the British capital equipment and the consequent loss of competitive power. This failure, in turn, is seen to be the result of Government policies which, for the sake of a variety of short-term aims, sacrificed the future by deliberately inhibiting investment.

17. Reflections on Entrepreneurship and Culture in European Societies

Author

Subjects
History, Entrepreneurship, Political science, Economic history, Social science, Period (music), Theme (narrative), First world war
Abstract

The theme which I have been asked to consider refers to the whole of Europe, but the terms on which it has been defined made it clear that the focus of interest was still to lie in Britain. I shall bear that focus in mind.After a brief review of the debate relating to entrepreneurship and culture in Britain in the late Victorian and Edwardian period, the period with which I shall be more specifically concerned, and a similarly cursory examination of the role of entrepreneurship in economic theory and in the writings of economic historians in recent decades, I shall turn to the main theme, entrepreneurship and its cultural setting in the decades before World War I in the rest of Europe. A return to the British problem will complete the paper.

29. Political competition and the British industrial revolution

Abstract

The British industrial revolution is widely considered to have been one of the great turning points in human history. By initiating a series of technical innovations with their associated social and political changes, it introduced the modern age. While it has recently come under some criticism, both for the misleading term “revolution” and for the hardly discernible acceleration of economic growth,457 it has remained a benchmark for historians, and a “myth”458 for the world at large. Can the notion of the impact of political competition on human progress offer any kind of explanation or enlightenment on its rise and progress?

48. The Integration of the European Economy Since 1815

Author

Sidney Pollard and Sidney Pollard

Subjects
HC241
Abstract

Sidney Pollard has provided a concise survey of economic issues for students of the European community. Going back to 1815, he links the progress of industrialisation in Europe to the relative ease with which ideas, men and capital were able to cross national frontiers. European frontiers make little economic sense and frequently cut across vital natural links. Professor Pollard shows how open frontiers speeded progress, in the particular circumstances of the spread of industrialisation from Britain to Western Europe and then to the rest of the continent, adn opened up new markets and opportunities of learning and technology transfer. Closed frontiers and the national selfishness of economic warfare led in contrast to stagnation, hostility and at times to all-out war. This classic study was first published in 1981.
