The European Economy 1914-2000

As in earlier editions of this work, Professor Aldcroft presents a succinct and lucid account of the development and problems of the European economy throughout the twentieth century. The text divides into several clearly defined sub-periods:   the aftermath of the First World War and reconstruction in the 1920s the depression and recovery of the 1930s the impact of the Second World War and the new division of Europe the postwar boom of the 1950s and 1960s the growth slowdown of the 1970s and the pervasive problems of inflation and unemployment.  This new edition incorporates extensive revisions, including wide range coverage of the impact of economics union and the demise of the centrally-planned economies, revised bibliographies and topics for discussion. The European Economy 1914-2000 provides an invaluable guide to the major economic changes in both Western and Eastern Europe during the twentieth century.

The European Economy Since 1914

The fifth edition of The European Economy provides a succinct and lucid account of the development and problems of the European economy since the first world war. It covers the whole of Europe including Russia and Turkey. The text divides into several clearly defined sub-periods: the impact and aftermath of the first world war and recovery and reconstruction during the 1920s; the depression and the recovery of the 1930s; the impact of the second world war and the new political division in Europe; the post-war boom of the 1950s and 1960s and then into the growth slowdown of the 1970s and the persistent problems of inflation and unemployment. It then analyses the demise of the centrally planned economies of eastern Europe and the move to a more united Europe and then discusses the financial and economic problems that have emerged in the early twenty-first century. This new edition has been extensively revised, new chapters have been added and the reading lists updated. Though the volume is designed as a basic introductory text the authors elicit some of the lessons that can be learnt from a study of past development, one of which is the limited power of governments to influence the course of events and to combat the operation of market forces.

Morewood, Steven

<p>This covers three of the areas of greatest current interest to British business historians - entrepreneurship and management, banking and finance, and enterprise in trade and industry. The essays have been commissioned specially from some of the best business historians in Britain. The volume emphasises the themes of enterprise and management as focused sharply in the evidence of business records. A broad introductory survey explores the development of business archives and business history, and this is followed by essays arranged in three sections. Part 1 debates the role and significance of the entrepreneur. Part 2 considers the development of banking and capital markets, and includes a review of 240 years of the Stock Exchange. Part 3 looks at business records, company and sector studies and at enterprise and policy issues.</p>
