  • A Perspective of Wages and Prices (Routledge Revivals)

    Henry Phelps Brown, Ernest Henry Phelps Brown et al.BOOKPerspective of Wages and Prices…2013

    First published in book form in 1981, this collection of essays originally written between 1955 and 1966 contains ground-breaking research and analysis on the study of wages and prices across seven centuries, with particular reference to builder’s wage rates and the price of a bundle of the commodities on which these wages might be spent. These seminal contributions to the economics of labour and economic growth did much to fuel the debate surrou…

  • A canard out of time? Churchill, the War Cabinet and The Atlantic Charter, August 1941

    1. The charges against Churchill Did Mr Churchill, Britain's wartime Prime Minister, display ‘cavalier behaviour5 towards his Cabinet over The Atlantic Charter9 of 1941? Having decided ‘to ignore’ their views, did he somehow seek to ensure, ‘rather ineptly’, that crucial telegrams should conceal his deviousness? Dr A. P. Dobson makes these accusations in this Review in April 1984,] They relate to ‘RIVIERA’, Churchill’s first wartime meeting with …

  • Seven Centuries of Wages and Prices: Some Earlier Estimates

    E H Phelps Brown, Sheila V HopkinsARTICLEEconomica1961

    In two earlier papers2 we sketched an outline of the movements of builders' wage-rates, and the prices of some of the materials of consumption, in southern England since 1264. In this paper we compare our findings with those of some earlier investigators. It will be found that the most striking features of the record have long been known: what is surprising is that they have been so little discussed and assimilated. Our own mainstay, Thorold Roge…

  • Builders' Wage-Rates, Prices and Population: Some Further Evidence

    E H Phelps Brown, Sheila V HopkinsARTICLEEconomica1959Cited by: 7

    In two previous papers2 we gave estimates indicating that the basketful of consumables which the building craftsman could buy with his day's pay conltracted greatly in the course of the sixteenth century in Southern England, France and Alsace, until in all three it was less than half as big as it had been. Our estimates also indicated that this had come about despite the builders' money wage-rate having risen in much the same proportion as the pr…

  • Wage-Rates and Prices: Evidence for Population Pressure in the Sixteenth Century

    E H Phelps Brown, Sheila V HopkinsARTICLEEconomica1957Cited by: 10

    In an earlier paper2 we gave estimates showing that the basketful of consumables which the English building craftsman could buy with a day's pay began about 1510 to contract progressively, and by 1630 had shrunk to perhaps as little as two-fifths of what it had been through much of the fifteenth century. Since the builder's labourer suffered equally, and he may be regarded as representative of unskilled wageearners at large, there is reason to be…

  • Seven Centuries of the Prices of Consumables, Compared with Builders' Wage- Rates

    E H Phelps Brown, Sheila V HopkinsARTICLEEconomica1956Cited by: 37

    In an earlier papers we gave an account of builders' wages in southern England from 1264 to 1954, and now we shall try to relate these to the prices of some of the main articles of consumption. In 1901 Steffen3 displayed the movements of two wage-rates in comparison with those of the prices of wheat and meat through the preceding six cenituries and more: it was his Tafel 11 that first displayed the striking evidence for a great rise and fall in t…

  • Seven Centuries of Building Wages

    E H Phelps Brown, Sheila V HopkinsARTICLEEconomica1955Cited by: 31

    The secondary sources exist from which to construct a fairly continuous record of the money wage-rates of building craftsmen and labourers in southern England, typically in Oxford, from the later thirteenth century to the present day. Some apology is due for piecing and patching with secondary sources, when the primary materials are probably there for more detailed and solid work; but the magnitudes and epochs of the main movements are not in dou…
