The Herds Shot Round the World
We associate the economic growth of the nineteenth century with cotton, iron, and steam, but the working-class standard of living rose mainly from the cheaper food that came from increased agricultural productivity and imports. Woods’ short book explores the development of the systematic breeding of sheep and cattle that increased British meat production as population growth and urbanization dramatically increased demand in the late eighteenth ce…
The shift from sailing ships to steamships, 1850-1890
The Cambridge History of Capitalism
The first volume of The Cambridge History of Capitalism provides a comprehensive account of the evolution of capitalism from its earliest beginnings. Starting with its distant origins in ancient Babylon, successive chapters trace progression up to the 'Promised Land' of capitalism in America. Adopting a wide geographical coverage and comparative perspective, the international team of authors discuss the contributions of Greek, Roman, and Asian ci…
Was technological change in the early Industrial Revolution Schumpeterian? Evidence of cotton textile profitability
The long road to the industrial revolution
Power and plenty
Steers Afloat
Meat transformed North Atlantic shipping, leading to dominance of liners and changed the economics of freight rates. Management coordination of meat shipment led to concentration in shipping. Only liner companies could provide specialized ships with the regularity needed and they dominated North Atlantic shipping. The cargo capacity of cattle ships, beyond that used for animals, lowered freight rates on grain below levels that would otherwise hav…
Twentieth Century Monetary Regimes in Canadian Perspective
Three monetary regimes — the gold standard, a regime of 'socialism in many countries' and the post-Bretton Woods regime — and difficult transitions between them have shaped the economic history of the twentieth century. The regimes consisted of coherent sets of government policies and equally importantly, the publics expectations about policy and each made different decisions about which of the trilemma of policy goals — fixed exchange rates, dom…
Simulating the Two Views of the British Industrial Revolution
This study examines technical change, trade, economic structure, and growth during the British Industrial Revolution by means of computational general equilibrium (CGE) modeling. It rejects Peter Temin's contention that our “new view” of sectorally concentrated productivity growth is inconsistent with industrial export data. A CGE trade model with diminishing returns in agriculture and realistic assumptions about consumer demand shows that while …

Cotton Textiles and Industrial Output Growth during the Industrial Revolution
Crop Production/Industries, Productivity Analysis
Una nueva evaluacion macroeconomica de la Revolucion Industrial
Aggregate estimates of British growth during the classical Industrial Revolution have been reassessed in the past decade and present a significantly revision of earlier views of British growth. Growth was slower dian previously believed and industrial change more localized and with a smaller impact Agricultural improvement and die relative ease with which labour moved to urban industry seems central to the experience. Although industry's impact n…
The antebellum American tariff
International Competitiveness of the Antebellum American Cotton Textile Industry
Although the American cotton textile industry was heavily protected, most commentators, following Frank Taussig's lead, have concluded that indigenous technological advance made large branches of the industry internationally competitive by the 1830s. The prices of equivalent fabrics in Britain and America in the late 1840s and 1850s challenge that conclusion. "Domestic" fabrics, in which American mills had supposedly become competitive, cost 20 p…
Output Growth and the British Industrial Revolution

Coal exports and British shipping, 1850–1913
Ocean Freight Rates and Productivity, 1740–1913
This article demonstrates that new industrial technology caused a revolutionary decline in nineteenth-century freight rates. This overturns Douglass North's well-known conclusion that organizational improvements were the dominant source of savings. While North's American freight rate series declines prior to the use of the metal steamship, British rates decline only modestly prior to 1850 and then rapidly as metal steamships come into use. Cotton…

Oligopoly Agreement and the Timing of American Railroad Construction
The railroads in the American West were constructed in a few concentrated building booms. This timing of construction resulted from the alternate creation and collapse of imperfect property rights to rights of way in partially settled areas. These “property rights” arose from strategic behavior within the railroad oligopoly. When enforcement costs of cooperative action were low, the railroads were able to create rents by avoiding construction ahe…
British Industrialization Before 1841
New indices of industrial production show that Britain's industrial growth in the last decades of the eighteenth century and the first decades of the nineteenth century was about a third slower than currently available estimates indicate. Therefore, mid-eighteenth-century industrial output was nearly twice as high as previously assumed

On the Persistence of Old Techniques
During the second half of the nineteenth century important technological changes in shipping and shipbuilding resulted in the practical disappearance of an important shipbuilding industry in North America and the concentration of most of the world's shipbuilding in Britain. This shift of shipbuilding activity was quite clearly the result of the adoption of metal in place of wood as the structural material in shipbuilding. The adoption of metal wa…

Western Settlement and the Price of Wheat, 1872-1913
The expansion of staple agriculture into the American West after the Civil War was an important event in the economic history of both the United States and the world. This migration of commercial farmers transformed the world's commodity markets. We would expect to find that these farmers were responding to price signals in a commercial fashion. Curiously, the existing literature has failed to detect a price responsiveness in western expansion. T…
