Excerpt from Statistical Studies: Relating National Progress in Wealth and Trade Since 1882: A Plea for Further Enquiry
Some part Of the statistics used in the following pages has been gradually accumulated in the course of researches as to the history of wages, prices, and foreign trade covering the last ten years, and in a few cases the tables have merely been brought up to date from articles already published. Part has been specially tabulated from official returns for the present purpose. Much of the material was used by me in recent lectures at the London School of Economics, where it was treated from the purely historical point of view.

Excerpt from Statistical Studies: Relating National Progress in Wealth and Trade Since 1882: A Plea for Further Enquiry
Some apology is needed for adding to the great mass of ephemeral literature already existing on the Fiscal Question; but it seemed possible that a serious attempt to put in a concise and clear form the facts as to our recent industrial history which seem to be established on fair evidence, irrespective of their competence to support any particular views on fiscal policy, and a careful statement of the bounds of our positive knowledge of our social and industrial condition, might be of some use to those who feel the difficulties of statistics and cannot examine them at first hand. It may well be that some estimates are missing, which advocates on one side or another of the controversy would expect to find here; if so, it is either due to my accidental ignorance of their existence, or because they do not come within the scope of this pamphlet, or because they are rejected as not satisfying the tests proposed in the introduction.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book compiles historical statistics to analyze economic conditions in Britain between 1882 and 1904. The author calculated factors like wages, income, employment, and production across different sectors and industries and found substantial growth across multiple sectors, especially in manufacturing, mining, construction, and finance. However, the author warns that data is incomplete and the true scale of progress and potential issues like casual labor and poverty are likely understated. Furthermore, he urges the government to invest in better data collection to gain a more complete insight into the state of British society in the early 20th century.
