The Industrialization of Modern Britain
EcoNOMIC HISTORY has been deeply affected by broad abstractions. The German Historical Schools, before and after Marx, were deeply committed to sociological concepts which frequently obstruct the critical analysis of the movement of historical events. There was too much emphasis upon narrowly defined ends: nationalism, the factory system, capitalism. Furthermore, the concept of historical development was too largely defined in idealistic terms, s…
A Study in Trade-Cycle History: Economic Fluctuations in Great Britain, 1833-1842
The Balance Sheet of Economic Development
The astute reader even of detective stories makes a practice of looking at the end of the book because the ending reveals the basic values of the book more quickly than any other single part of the whole. An audience is at a disadvantage unless the speaker furnishes some preliminary sketch of the problems to be explored and some brief answers to the questions to be examined. It is therefore appropriate to state the purpose of the paper in a few w…
Sir John Howard Clapham and the Empirical Reaction in Economic History
When Clapham began to teach economic history at Leeds in 1902 Schmoller had just finished his Foundations of Political Economy, and the first edition of Sombart's Modern Capitalism had just appeared. In the early editions of J. A. Hobson's Evolution of Modern Capitalism many aspects of the Marxian interpretation of history were effectively expressed and afforded a clear measure of the stimulus that economic history was to receive from this genera…
British Medieval Population. Josiah Cox Russell
The Location of Economic Activity
The Significance of Modern Empiricism for History and Economics
The relation of theoretical economics to empirical historical analysis has been one of the central problems of economic historians ever since the recognition of economic history as a separate discipline. Recent studies in logic and philosophy, by constructing new frames of meaning for both theory and history, have opened up several avenues for a fresh approach to this and other problems of importance to the historian and the economist

Government Assistance in Eighteenth-Century France . Shelby T. McCloy
The Resource Requirements of an Industrial Economy
The political events of the interval between the war and the im pending political changes have given new urgency to the critical analysis of the industrial ambitions of undeveloped regions. The older industrial regions face readjustments of substantial magnitude. Every feature of the world economy is distressingly unstable. Cultural and institutional factors will be of importance in determining the rapidity of change and the degree of efficiency …

Institutional Methodology in Economic History
The task of reviewing general texts is especially difficult. Many different objectives may legitimately be attempted, and it is easy to allow one's personal interests to enter into the appraisal of objectives. It has long been my conviction that every author should be allowed to choose his objectives and to adopt such means as may be suitable in their fulfillment. Once these choices have been made, the author imposes a task upon himself which may…

The History of Population and Settlement in Eurasia
T HE study of economic geography, which has made such rapid advances in recent years, presents many questions closely related to the history of population and settlement. Vidal de la Blache was keenly aware of these contacts with history, and his last work, Principles of Human Geography, contained much historical material. The full appreciation of certain problems of economic geography requires, however, a systematic study of the process of settl…

Prices of Wheat and Commodity Price Indexes for England, 1259-1930
IT is now many years since the publication of Wiebe's index of commodity prices in England for the period I50I-I702. Nineteenth-century studies of prices have latterly been carried back as far as I779, but there remains a substantial gap between the index based on Rogers' materials and the modern indexes. Recent developments of statistical method have disclosed deficiencies in the computations of Wiebe, so that we are now in position to make a nu…

Colbert and Governmental Control of Industry in Seventeenth Century France
COLBERT AND HIS TIME COLBERT was by temper an administrator; ordinarily shrewd in his judgments of current problems, and energetic in accumulating precise information. Though he certainly possessed genuine convictions, he was ever ready to temporize and to adapt his policies to local conditions. Many aspects of his reforms were essentially liberal in character, because his administrative reorganization necessarily led him to destroy obsolescent f…
