Bernard Alford reviews the changing role, and diminishing influence, of Britain within the international economy across the century that saw the apogee and loss of Britain's empire, and her transformation from globe-straddling superpower to off-shore and indecisive member of the European Community. He explores the relationship between empire and economy; looks at economic performance against economic policy; and compares Britain - through and beyond the Thatcher years - with her European partners, America and Japan. In assessing whether Britain's economic decline has been absolute or merely relative, he also illuminates the broader history of the world economy itself.

"The period of British economic history covered in these pages is that of Britain's transition from a primarily agricultural and commercial economy to a modern industrial state whose supremacy rested on her world-wide shipping and credit agencies and mutually advantageous relations with her dependent empire. At the end of this period, Britain as a pioneer of the world industrial revolution had given place to Britain, the world's banker, trader, and collier, in competition with other nations whom she had materially helped along that same way. In view of the efforts of developing nations today, the manner in which this first transition was managed becomes of particular import. Professor Chambers' admirably balanced summary touches on every important aspect of the change which 'involved the community in a simultaneous creation of new forms of industry and transport and in an immense effort in agriculture and building... (and) placed new strains on a social and political system which had to reconcile the demand for increased output with the dawning awareness on the part of labour that industrialization held the key to economic advance for all and not only for the privileged few.' Both text and bibliography have been completely revised for this new edition." - Back cover.

Considering Britain's physical capital, this book examines the distribution of investment between industries and between industry on the one hand and social and administrative purposes on the other. The Sterling Area is also examined, from the point of view of the UK and the rest of the world. The gold value of the dollar and the relationship of the US to the world economy are also discussed. All of these economic questions are placed in their appropriate historical perspective.

Essay from the year 2004 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 2,0, University of Birmingham (Department of History), course: The History of Modern Britain, 6 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: At the end of the 19thcentury Great Britain experienced an economic decline, the reasons for which are still controversially discussed among historians. While some stress the changes in the world economy due to the spread of industrialization in the 19th century, others hold the view that serious failings within the domestic economy are the major causes for Britain’s downfall. After a short description of the degree of Britain’s decline before 1914, some of the major reasons for Britain’s relative economic decline will be analyzed and compared. The aim of this paper will be to evaluate the severity of external changes that the British had no control of as well as internal failings within the British economy that contributed to Britain’s relative economic decline. Writing about Britain’s economic decline at the end of the 19thCentury, it is first of all necessary to define in how far one can speak of a ‘decline’. Most historians point out that Britain’s economic decline is only a relative one. They argue that in comparison to Britain’s earlier growth or in relation to the growth of other advanced countries, like e.g. the USA or Germany, one can realize a decline in the economic performance of Great Britain but that in general there was no decline in the last third of the 19thcentury. Alford renders it more precisely by saying that: “British enterprise, it will be argued, did not decline during this period: it remained remarkably constant and inflexible.” In fact Britain’s GDP was still rising between 1870 and 1890 but, like mentioned before; the annual rate of growth was much slower. According to Crouzet Britain achieved a growth rate of 3.1 per cent from 1811 to 1877, while it fell to only 1.6 per cent between 1877 and 1913. That causes historians to differ in terms of the beginning of the decline. Most historians refer to the year 1873 when they talk about the beginning of Britain’s decline while others argue that Britain achieved its most rapid growth in industrial production in the 1820s and 1830s and that the time of Victoria’s accession could therefore be regarded as the true beginning of the relative economic decline. Nevertheless, in this paper the time around 1870 will be regarded as the beginning of Britain’s economic decline since it was between 1870 and 1913 that Britain’s share of the total world industrial production fell from 31.8 per cent to 14 per cent.
