Europe, America, and the Wider World
A “New” Business History? A Commentary on the 1993 Nobel Prize in Economics
The editor of the Business History Review has asked me, as the oldest “new” economic historian, to make a comment on the 1993 Nobel Prize award in Economics—a comment directed to “real” historians—which I am not—and especially to business historians, of whose product I have been an often satisfied—though occasionally restless—consumer. Needless to say, I find this to be an assignment difficult to fulfill. Praise will be put down to “trendy” insin…

The South in the national economy, 1865–1970
With countless variations, two great traditions interpret and evaluate historical trends in the relationship between households and markets: the tradition of most economists, descended from Adam Smith, which views the spread of markets and specialized production as a progressive development, an improvement of resource allocation, an encouragement to advancements in knowledge and progress, and an opportunity for higher standards of living on and o…
Europe, America, and the Wider World
This volume collects Professor Parker's major writings on American agricultural and industrial history, including some previously unpublished essays. Taken as a whole, these essays give an account of why and how the United States grew rich in the nineteenth century, as well as a background against which to judge the present position of the economy and its international position. Professor Parker focuses on the nineteenth-century experience of the…

Enterprise and History
Liberalism and Modern Reality
I learned a great deal from my seven-month stay in France from December 1984 to June 1985. But as it drew to an end, I was led to ask : Is it possible that the French I have met may have learned anything from me? The question was posed most poignantly in early June when I was asked to act as the American “expert” in a panel under the auspices of France-Amérique in the beautiful rooms of their mansion on Avenue Franklin D. Roosevelt. The other mem…

The Schuman Plan—A Preliminary Prediction
When M. Schuman first presented his celebrated Plan over two years ago, American views, official and public, were divided between an easy cynicism and a careless rapture. Optimism was stirred by the promise of a unity of European peoples, achieving strength, peace and prosperity through their mutual interests in producing coal and steel. Cynicism amused itself with a vision of a new bureaucracy, exercising new controls through the monster interna…

From Old to New to Old in Economic History
The President of this Association is like a species of short-lived insect, whose only function in life is to lay an egg, and then to die. Yet, like the walking candle, a President has this brief moment on stage, and his obscurity before and after it makes him determined to burn all the more brightly

A Word from the Program Committee
Program committees, like the parents of adolescents, must at last stand aside, overcome by a sense of powerless responsibility, as their creation begins to speak, act and sin for itself.The program for the Twenty-ninth Meeting of the Economic History Association, held August 28-30, 1969, at Rrandeis University, Waltham, Massachusetts, was generated under the title: The Organizational Forms of Economic Life and Their Evolution. The first two sessi…
Entrepreneurship, Industrial Organization, and Economic Growth
The following bit of research has two purposes, one general and one specific. Its general purpose is to suggest how the three elements in its title arc linked together, and in doing this to connect more closely the work of historians, which has focused on entrepreneurship, with that of economists, which has centered around economic growth as measured in statistical aggregates. The specific purpose is to show how the organization of the German coa…

Growth and stagnation in the European economy
At the risk of oversimplifying them, the major conclusions of this important study by Professor Svennilson may be stated as follows: 1. From 1913 up to the Second World War total output and output per capita increased only slowly in Europe. Growth, taken over the whole period, was slow relative both to the development of the United States and to the European experience of earlier decades. Presumably the opportunity for faster growth existed in 'i…

Economic Development in Historical Perspective
Work in progress
Work on the nineteenth century America may indeed be called work in progress —if that notoriously unfashionable word can be given any meaning at all in our fashionably disillusioned century. In any case, though ‘work in progress’ may logically imply progress in work, these notes are offered as a simple tribute to a fine scholar, not as an advance claim to accomplishment. No occasion would be more inappropriate to such a claim. Preferable indeed w…
Trends in the American Economy in the Nineteenth Century
Old Wine in New Bottles
The publication of a new volume of the Cambridge Economic History is itself an historical event. Like a great freight train, bursting out from its dark tunnel, it rattles across our landscape, loaded high with gold and spices, coal and lumber—a few peasants, merchants, silk-hatted bankers, officials, and businessmen clinging to the roofs of the cars. Livestock are terrified and students astonished; but as happy economic historians we line the tra…
