Andrew Saint: An Appreciation
No Home-Like Place: Delusions of Home in Born in Exile
George Gissing was obsessed with the question of ‘home’, in his own restless mobility as well as that of his characters, whose domestic circumstances he invariably enumerated in detail. Gissing's Born in Exile moves between real and fictional locations in London, Exeter, and the industrial north of England, but also between a variety of lodgings, chambers, and houses which accommodate, constrain, and only occasionally liberate their occupants. Th…
Lighting the Underground: London, 1863-1914
Contrairement à la plupart des espaces publics et domestiques qui nécessitent une illumination artificielle seulement pendant la nuit, les espaces publics souterrains doivent être illuminés en permanence. Cet article explore l’éclairage des premières lignes ferroviaires souterraines de Londres à la deuxième moitié du XIX e siècle, lorsque l’éclairage au gaz et la locomotion à la vapeur soulèvent des problèmes particuliers. Nous analysons trois en…
Equilibrium Coordination With Discretionary Policy Making
Discretionary policy makers cannot manage private‐sector expectations and cannot coordinate the actions of future policy makers. As a consequence, coordination failures can occur and multiple equilibria can arise. In this article, we employ notions of self‐enforceability and learnability to motivate and identify equilibria of particular interest in discretionary policy problems exhibiting multiple equilibria. Central among these criteria are whet…
Why Did We Choose to Industrialize? Montreal, 1819–1849, by Robert C.H. Sweeny
This is an ambitious book, by turns illuminating and opaque, stimulating and frustrating, global and parochial. The cover conveys some of this ambiguity—Why Did We Choose to Industrialize? in slightly smaller font than Montreal; and 1819–1849 above a sepia-tinted image of smoking factory chimneys dated ‘about 1890’. There are at least three books trying to make themselves heard through this complex text. One is an academic autobiography. Robert S…
Apartment housing then and now: Vignettes from Toronto and Montreal
Apartment houses were controversial insertions into the built environment of Canadian cities in the early twentieth century. More recently, some early apartments have been demolished and replaced by high-rise or non-residential buildings, but others have acquired heritage status. Small-scale, originally walk-up apartments on inner suburban residential streets are praised for their domestic and homely characteristics, precisely what they were thou…

Lobbying and minority government in Australia: The concept of the marginal member
Within Westminster-based majority parliaments, the presence of minority government runs contrary to the conventional wisdom. Over the last 40 years, however, there has been a steady voting trend away from major parties in many of these parliaments. The complex composition of the Australian Senate after July 2014 reinforces that non-ministerial marginal members continue to be a vital part of the political landscape. This article introduces the con…
An Introduction to Australian Public Policy: Theory and Practice
The public policy arena is a complex framework of actors, politics and instruments. An Introduction to Australian Public Policy, Second Edition examines the broad range of models, influences and players that shape the development of public policy in Australia, and equips students with a working knowledge of both the theoretical underpinnings and real-world challenges of the field. Fully revised and updated, the new edition addresses the diverse a…

Democratic constraint and embrace: Implications for progressive non-government advocacy organisations in Australia
The advocacy work of non-government organisations can be either constrained or embraced by government attitudes and practices. Although it is widely accepted that NGOs are an essential component of a healthy and robust democracy, serving as essential intermediaries between community and government, and providing a voice for marginalised groups to make claims on governments between elections, the current dominance of the public choice paradigm in …
Victorian Babylon: People, Streets and Images in Nineteenth-Century London
Inflation Expectations and the Stability Properties of Nominal GDP Targeting
Ball (1999) uses a small closed economy model to show that nominal GDP targeting can lead to instability. This paper extends Ball's model to uncover the role inflation expectations play in generating this instability. Allowing inflation expectations to be formed by the more general mixed expectations process, which encompasses Ball's model, we show that nominal GDP targeting is unlikely to lead to instability. We further show that in Ball's model…
Property and Propriety: Jewish Landlords in Early Twentieth‐Century Toronto
Drawing on literatures on the social construction of place and identity, and on the changing nature of urban property ownership, this paper examines Jewish immigrants to Toronto as housing landlords, situating their activities in the context of wider changes in the city's housing market and of their needs to raise capital, achieve status and foster group identity. Using archival and newspaper evidence to reconstruct the behaviour of individual la…
Landlords and housing in depression
Concentrating on the Great Depression in North American cities, but also drawing comparisons with the lesser depression of the 1890s, and with a different experience of depression in 1930s Great Britain, this paper argues that more attention should be paid to the role of, and problems faced by, private landlords, who still provided the majority of housing in most cities. Following a review of the crisis of housing construction and finance in earl…

Community’ and the social geography of Victorian cities
Quantitative studies of nineteenth-century cities have made rapid advances in the last decade in terms of both the complexity of techniques and the range of sources to which techniques have been applied. Simple representations of material from the census enumerators' books like graphs and pie diagrams have been superseded by location quotients, indices of segregation and factor analyses. Synchronic descriptions of urban structure have been supple…

Intercensal Mobility in a Victorian City
The paper examines residential mobility in Huddersfield, Yorkshire, between 1851 and 1861. The linkage of individual entries in successive manuscript censuses permits an investigation of the association between migration and the demographic and social characteristics of migrants. The distances moved by different types of intra-urban migrants can also be compared. It appeared that in-migrants were more likely to leave the town than those born ther…

A Social Geography of England and Wales
English Industrial Cities of the Nineteenth Century: A Social Geography
To contemporaries the nineteenth century was 'the age of great cities'. As early as 1851 over half the population of England and Wales could be classified as 'urban'. In the first full-length treatment of nineteenth-century urbanism from a geographical perspective, Richard Dennia focuses on the industrial towns and cities of Lancashire, Yorkshire, the Midlands and South Wales, that epitomised the spirit of the new age. In recent years urban histo…
