Albert Schweitzer, My Life and Thought
Margins of The Mind
‘Psychologists have mapped out developmental stages for the first fifteen to twenty years; but thereafter life is a blank. Half a century of adult life remains, psychologically speaking, an unchartered waste.’ Frank Musgrove focuses on the question ‘Can adults change?’ and challenges the still widely-held view that adult life is static. Originally published in 1977, the author examines change principally in terms of a modification of consciousnes…
Peter Sloman. The Liberal Party and the Economy, 1929–1964
Since the establishment of modern British politics in the late eighteenth and early twentieth centuries, two-party competition prevailed between conservatism (as represented in the Conservative and Unionist Party) and liberalism (the Liberal Party). The Liberals had the upper hand from 1859 to 1910, the last year for elections before the First World War. The Liberal Party remained in government until 1922, albeit in coalition from 1915 onward, bu…

Brittan on Britain
This review furthers our understanding of the history of neo-liberalism in Britain, and more particularly of the economics and politics of the 1970s and 1980s, through an examination of the writings of the economic journalist, Samuel Brittan, widely regarded as a central figure in undermining the intellectual basis for the Keynesian consensus about big government. This review provides a close study of Brittan's ‘The economic contradictions of dem…

Macroeconomic policy in Britain between the wars1
This Virtual Issue of the Review is offered as a modest contribution towards reigniting interest in macroeconomic policy in Britain between the wars. In reprinting 19 articles which were published in the Review between 1974 and 1991, the introduction to this Virtual Issue supplements those articles and provides a further opportunity to re-examine key macroeconomic policy episodes and specific policy impact. The articles are divided into three sec…

Equifinality and uncertainty in the interpretation of pollen data
The long-term goal of pollen analysis has always been the reconstruction of past vegetation mosaics. However, the pollen signal is spatially integrated, and ecologically distinct vegetation structures can produce identical pollen signals. This paper proposes an iterative approach to reconstruction, the Multiple Scenario Approach, which involves creating a large number of hypothetical landscapes using a combination of deterministic and probabilist…
Thatcher's Britain
Apart from the abridged version of John Campbell's two-volume biography of Thatcher, the thirtieth anniversary of the election of her first government has been surprisingly muted in terms of serious scholarship. Richard Vinen's Thatcher's Britain is thus particularly welcome, being timely in two senses. First, contemporary historians are now teaching students born after Mrs Thatcher's resignation. They have no personal memories of her but have mu…

Vegetation structure and pollen source area
In this paper we use a simulation approach to explore the effect of variation in taxon parameters and landscape patterning on relevant source area of pollen. We use the Prentice-Sugita model, assume constant atmospheric conditions and basin morphology, and take a reductionist approach to explore the behaviour of pollen dispersal and deposition in a simple landscape scenario. Individual factors within the scenario (pollen fall speed, relative poll…

Monetary Regimes of the Twentieth Century
There is a long and distinguished tradition of National Institute economists writing economic histories of modern Britain, with Dow (1998) being the most recent. Britton, a former director of the Institute, made important contributions to our understanding of the post‐war British business cycle, macroeconomic modelling, macroeconomic policy since the 1970s and, most recently, the economics and politics of EMU and of the ambition to regain full em…
Second Amongst Equals
Having reviewed in recent years two books on Chancellors of the Exchequer, the question arises of whether there is a case for a third, and so soon. Admittedly, the first ( Jenkins, 1998), by a former Labour Chancellor (1967–70), was a good read, as is to be expected from so eloquent a pen; but it was undoubtedly stronger on the politics than the economics, while it ended (somewhat prematurely) with Dalton (1945–47). The second (Dell, 1996), by a …

The Treasury and Public Investment
This paper examines certain administrative constraints which hampered inter‐war governments in their operation of public works policies and reinforced their opposition to even more ambitious Keynesian employment programmes. The stabilizing effectiveness of public investment is assessed, as is central government's ability to promote greater capital expenditure by the local authorities, the principal agencies for public investment. To this end, a s…

Nobody thought that adolescence had been a stage or turning point, althou…

Student Rebellion Against Parental Political Beliefs
A survey of the political beliefs of 1,440 students in 16 American colleges and universities reveals that approximately two-fifths have rebelled from what they believe are their parents' political views. The rebellion is overwhelmingly to the left rather than the right of their parents. Most student conservatives merely reflect their conservative family backgrounds, whereas most socialists and liberals have rebelled from a more conservative famil…

Employment Policy
Employment Policy is a subject of great current importance. Between 1939 and 1955 policy on unemployment altered out of all recognition,however, and in the 1930s mass unemployment was never a concern of economic policy. After 1939, the Second World War brought not only the fact of full employment, but also a commitment to its peacetime continuation, and by 1955 full employment was an agreed goal of both Labour and Conservative governments. This b…
