Book Description
Sidney Pollard was a pioneering labour historian who influenced the gret luminaries in the field, E.P. Thompson and E.J. Hobsbawm. Almost single-handedly, he pioneered the study of eceonomic management in history and the understanding of the economic processes by which regions are formed. As a labour historian, his contribution to the study of the marginalized in society was original and vital. His history was intimately connected with his personal life - from escape to Britain from Nazi-occupied Vienna on the Jewish kindertransporte, to work in Britain, the USA, Israel and apartheid South Africa.

Book Description
Studies of the industrial revolution often ignore the problems of the management of large works - these were new, since earlier examples of controlling large numbers of men, such as armies of the builders of the pyramids, did not have to show a profit. The main problems are seen to have occurred in the management of labour, and in the construction of account which would help arrive at correct decisions.

Book Description
"Nearly every one of the several hundred photographs is memorable, and the collection makes the book a pleasure to browse....A helpful reference supplement as well as interesting reading"--Booklist. Lavishly illustrated and authoritatively written, Wealth and Poverty provides an engaging introduction to the economic history of the twentieth century. The authors carefully weave the century's political and social events together with its economic developments, offering an integrated account of the role economics has played in shaping our times. Special features include chronological timelines of major events at the beginning of every chapter, special feature sections that focus on topics of particular importance, and hundreds of capsule biographies of critical figures in the economic history of our century. And the text offers a truly global perspective, examining such problems as acid rain and third world debt. Wealth and Poverty is an ideal introduction to the economic history of our times.

Book Description
The international economy since 1945 has endured dramatic changes in its balance of power, from the early period of prosperity for industrialised nations, to the 2008/9 global crisis. In this volume Catherine Schenk outlines these huge changes, examines how the world’s economic leaders have tried to organise and influence the international economy and presents the key frameworks in which international economic relations have developed. Focusing on the pattern of international trade, international investment and the changing organisation of the international monetary system, this volume takes a chronological approach of key time-frames, and shows how policy has impacted the balance of the international economy. Major events such as European integration in the 1960’s, the collapse of the international monetary system and oil crisis in the 1970’s the return of China to the international economy in the 1980’s and emerging market crises in the 1990s are discussed within the context of key themes including global economic and regulatory co-ordination, the role of American economic hegemony, the evolution of exchange rate policy and unequal development. International Economic Relations since 1945 is the perfect guide for all students of economic history and international history, and for those seeking to understand recent economic trends in a longer term perspective.
