How Well Do Facts Travel?
How Well Do Facts Travel?
This book discusses how facts travel, and when and why they sometimes travel well enough to acquire a life of their own. Whether or not facts travel in this manner depends not only on their character and ability to play useful roles elsewhere, but also on the labels, packaging, vehicles and company that take them across difficult terrains and over disciplinary boundaries. These diverse stories of travelling facts, ranging from architecture to nan…
The Global Economy in the 1990s
Trade, convergence, and globalisation
The economics of forced labour
The internal labour dynamics of the Great Eastern Railway Company, 1870-1913
An important labour market development towards the end of the nineteenth century was the rise of the internal labour market. Railway companies were pioneers in this area, and this article presents an analysis of the career histories of 848 traffic staff workers of the Great Eastern Railway Company. This large longitudinal sample provides the first detailed account of the internal labour dynamics of a pre-1914 railway company, providing a unique i…
Distribution dynamics
Evidence of the Existence of an Internal Labour Market in the Great Eastern Railway Company, 1875–1905
Evidence from promotion ladders and the wage payment system of the GER is evaluated to see if it supports existing claims, primarily based on welfare and pension provision, that by 1900 the railway companies had become the first important adherents in the country to a system of internal labour markets. It is suggested that promotion was internalised and that it was based on merit and seniority, that some form of seniority wage payments system did…
Economic Ideas and Government Policy
This volume collects together Sir Alec Cairncross' most important contributions to the economic history of the post-1939 period. They address such major issues as the role of economists in the 2nd World War, the significance of the Marshall plan and Britain's relative economic decline. Together they demonstrate a keen insight into the changing role of the economist in government and the gradual transformation of the economic landscape
Resource Allocation in Wartime Britain
The essential feature of the British economy in the second world war was that it was a centrally managed economy. Such an economy can only succeed if the state can adequately allocate resources to where they are needed. In order to understand and to evaluate the wartime economy properly, we therefore need to know how resources were actually allocated, what problems were faced and how they were resolved.1 Indeed, given that all the major combatant…
New Light through Old Windows
In the second world war, the normal market orientation of the British economy was replaced by a system of centralized control and economic planning. The key feature of this system was the process of physical planning operated by the central authorities through which they controlled the allocation and use of scarce resources such as labour, steel and capacity. In the official history volumes (which dominate the historiography), however, one centra…
