‘I suppose language is important’
Open AccessClaire Kerins, Sinéad Furey et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2025
News media coverage can shape public and political perceptions of food poverty, yet little is known about how media professionals and third sector organizations understand and communicate this issue. This study aimed to explore how food poverty is understood and communicated by news media professionals and third sector representatives on the island of Ireland. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with news media professionals (n = 16) and th…
Erin D. CHAPMAN. Prove It on Me
E H Phelps Brown, E H BrownARTICLEThe American Historical Review2013
Erin D.

This well-researched and clearly argued study explores the tensions between black women's social history and popular culture's spectacle of black femininity in the context of New Negro modernity.

The Brookings Study of the Poor Performance of the British Economy
E H Phelps BrownARTICLEEconomica1969
The object of this study by a strong team of American and Canadian economists, under the auspices of the Brookings Institution, was to diagnose the relatively slow growth and the recurrent crises of the balance of payments that have marred the performance of the British economy in recent years; and to assess the effectiveness of British economic policy. What is the gist of the team's findings, how convincing are they, and what can we learn from t…

Seven Centuries of the Prices of Consumables, Compared with Builders' Wage- Rates
E H Phelps Brown, Sheila V HopkinsARTICLEEconomica1956Cited by: 37
In an earlier papers we gave an account of builders' wages in southern England from 1264 to 1954, and now we shall try to relate these to the prices of some of the main articles of consumption. In 1901 Steffen3 displayed the movements of two wage-rates in comparison with those of the prices of wheat and meat through the preceding six cenituries and more: it was his Tafel 11 that first displayed the striking evidence for a great rise and fall in t…
Seven Centuries of Building Wages
E H Phelps Brown, Sheila V HopkinsARTICLEEconomica1955Cited by: 31
The secondary sources exist from which to construct a fairly continuous record of the money wage-rates of building craftsmen and labourers in southern England, typically in Oxford, from the later thirteenth century to the present day. Some apology is due for piecing and patching with secondary sources, when the primary materials are probably there for more detailed and solid work; but the magnitudes and epochs of the main movements are not in dou…

The Backward Art of Spending Money
E H Phelps Brown, Wesley C MitchellARTICLEThe Economic Journal1937Cited by: 14
Nearly 85 years ago, Clair Mitchell, the acknowledged leader of American economists during the first half of this century, wrote: Important as the art of spending is, we have developed less skill in its practice than in the practice of making money. Common sense forbids our wasting dollars earned by irksome efforts; and yet we are notoriously extravagant. Ignorance of qualities, uncertainty of taste, lack of accounting, carelessness about pricesA…

Wage-Rates and Prices
E H Phelps Brown, Sheila V HopkinsARTICLEEconomica1957Cited by: 10
In an earlier paper2 we gave estimates showing that the basketful of consumables which the English building craftsman could buy with a day's pay began about 1510 to contract progressively, and by 1630 had shrunk to perhaps as little as two-fifths of what it had been through much of the fifteenth century. Since the builder's labourer suffered equally, and he may be regarded as representative of unskilled wageearners at large, there is reason to be…

Builders' Wage-Rates, Prices and Population
E H Phelps Brown, Sheila V HopkinsARTICLEEconomica1959Cited by: 7
In two previous papers2 we gave estimates indicating that the basketful of consumables which the building craftsman could buy with his day's pay conltracted greatly in the course of the sixteenth century in Southern England, France and Alsace, until in all three it was less than half as big as it had been. Our estimates also indicated that this had come about despite the builders' money wage-rate having risen in much the same proportion as the pr…
