Mining tycoons in the age of empire, 1870-1945: Entrepreneurship, high finance, politics and territorial expansion - Edited by Raymond E. Dumett
Industrial Relations in the British Non-ferrous Mining Industry in the Nineteenth Century
The record of industrial relations in the coal and metal mining industries during the nineteenth century was sharply different. The coal mining sector developed large and permanent trade unions from an early date and experienced increasingly troubled relations between management and labour, while the non-ferrous mining sector saw largely peaceful relations and no significant unionisation before the inter-war period. These differences have been ob…
Freemasonry and business networking during the Victorian period
This article looks at the role of Freemasonry in socio-economic networking in Cornwall during the late nineteenth century. It demonstrates that, like many other fraternities, Masonry created efficient conduits for the exchange of business information and reinforced a pro-business culture. Particular attention is given to its role in facilitating the migration of Cornish miners and mine managers and in creating structures for national and internat…
Rational Choice and a Lifetime in Metal Mining: Employment Decisions by Nineteenth-Century Cornish Miners
This articles argues that it was primarily cash, rather than culture, that shaped employment decisions by Cornish miners in the mid-nineteenth century. Although their occupation cut their lives short, total lifetime earnings as a metal miner, at home or abroad, exceeded the probable income from readily available alternative employment, even over a longer working life. In economic terms, Cornish miners rationally sold part of their lives for both …

Innovation or Imitation? Technological Dependency in the American Nonferrous Mining Industry
The transatlantic transfer of industrial technology and the comparative performance of British and American industry during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries have been of evergreen interest to several generations of economic historians. Similarly, but independently, the history of modern metal mining technology has supported a rapidly growing literature. This article attempts to bring these two subjects together, asking how the experie…

The international diffusion of technology in the early modern period: The case of the British nonferrous mining industry
There is a well-established view that the emergence of large-scale 1 technologically sophisticated industry in Britain took an important step forward from the late sixteenth century in a select few areas. An attempt to extrapolate from this to a concept of an early industrial revolution failed, but a small core of industries-in mining, metallurgy, ship-building, saltand glassmaking, and the like-are seen as having made financial demands quite out…
