Abstract

Despite the ever-increasing amount of economic literature on the period between 1870 and 1939 it is difficult for the student to obtain an overall picture of the growth and development of the British economy during these years. A major problem is that the standard texts tend to cover the ground sector by sector so that it is possible to find out much about particular segments of the economy, such as agriculture, transport and trade, without gaining a real knowledge of exactly what happened at the aggregate level. This section therefore presents an overview of the growth of the economy based on the latest data, and examines some of the chief sources of economic change.
