Globalization and the Rise of Mass Education
Schooling for all via financing by some
Historians of the rise of popular education have often emphasised the role of national governments as sources of funding. However, for the case of England work by W.K. Jordan among others with probate records suggests that by the English Civil War substantial philanthropic funding was available for education. The presence of this philanthropy suggests a blurring of the line between private and public and the presence of both top-down and bottom-u…
A Year of Transition
The year 1946 has been seen as a pivotal year of transition by historians of the Chicago Economics Department, in large part as a result of the arrival of Milton Friedman that year. This essay examines new evidence on department deliberations on faculty hiring in February of 1946. It argues that Friedman’s recruitment reflected a compromise between Frank Knight and his followers on the one hand and those associated with the Cowles Commission on t…
Economic History in Departments of Economics
Since the emergence of distinctive social science disciplines in American universities in the late nineteenth century, there have been recurring tensions over whether history should be practiced within or pursued separately from particular social science disciplines. This study considers this issue for the case of economic history in the Department of Economics at the University of Chicago. Economic history was active as an interdisciplinary fiel…

Market Forces and Market Failure in Antebellum American Education
The international rise of mass education over the past few centuries is often seen by historians as due to the increasingly long arm of the state (see, e.g., Lindert 2004). On this view, the early rise and high level of mass education in the United States in contrast with its colonial ruler Great Britain reflects the ability of Americans to mobilize local and state government support for public education from the earliest days of the Republic. In…
Literacy and Occupational Mobility in Rural versus Urban Victorian England
Samples drawn from marriage registers in Birmingham and rural Norfolk, England, which report the occupational status for both the groom and his father, were matched with the 1851 and 1881 English censuses, which also contain occupational information. After performing several checks for selection bias, the author concludes: First, although most occupational mobility took place within 10 years of marriage—when the groom was roughly between the ages…

The Rise of Popular Literacy in Victorian England
The Rise of Popular Literacy in Victorian England
In early Victorian England, there was an intense debate about whether government involvement in the provision of popular elementary education was appropriate. Government did in the end become actively involved, first in the administration of schools and in the supervision of instruction, then in establishing and administering compulsory schooling laws. After a century of stagnation, literacy rates rose markedly. While increasing government involv…

The Impact of Subsidies to Elementary Schooling on Enrolment Rates in Nineteenth-Century England
Considerable controversy exists about the role of public elementary schooling in the development of mass education in nineteenth-century England. Some recent accounts continue to support the long-standing view that the development of a public system of elementary schooling was the central force behind the rise in working-class educational attainment during the nineteenth century. Other accounts have suggested instead that this rise can be attribu…

Underinvestment in Literacy? The Potential Contribution of Government Involvement in Elementary Education to Economic Growth in Nineteenth-Century England
The case for government involvement in the provision of elementary education in nineteenth-century England is assessed by presenting estimates of the rate of return to literacy. Before government involvement, the estimated rate of return to male literacy was considerably above the return on most alternative investments in the English economy. The differential narrowed with the onset of government involvement. The evidence is much weaker for any i…
