The changing face of Britain's post-war industrial landscape has nowhere been more striking than on tees-side. In the early 1950s the Tees-side Industrial Development Board, the Tees-side and South-West Durham Development Association decided to commission a factual survey of the economy of Tees-side, to focus upon the contemporary status of local industry and to highlight the problems, of the past and present, likely to influence further developments. The survey covers the field of natural and human resources, comments on the industrial evolution of the area and devotes separate chapters to each manufacturing industry and service. A brief reference to the administrative structure, settlements and the influence of Government policy on industrial location rounds off the study of life and work in this vital, developing nerve centre of the North-East Coast economy. Studies of the modern scene in British industrial regions are sufficiently rare for this work on Tees-side to rank as a pioneer effort, in its assessment of the salient features of economic trends and change. Its purpose is simply to portray this small but important conurbation in a way which will be useful to industralists, Government Departments, Local Authorities and all those who have an interest in Tees-side, a memory of its past, or a stake in its present and future.

Summary; In this book the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland showcases images from its National Collection in a remarkable illustration of the Victorian era. From the pioneering work of renowned photographers to never before seen excerpts from private family albums, 'Victorian Scotland' is a window on the lives of the generation that changed the world. The Victorians were the harbingers of the modern age, their society driven by curiosity, a zeal for invention, and an enormous appetite for economic and imperial consumption. The boiler room of the era was stoked furiously, and its frequent combustions produced advances in everything from science and philosophy to industry and architecture. By the end of the nineteenth century, Scotland was a nation transformed. Glasgow had exploded into the second city of the Empire, the majestic Forth Bridge was celebrated as a wonder of the modern world, and railways had opened the remote Highlands to new industries of leisure and tourism. But for every grand museum or gothic-revival country house, tenements and slums rose in their thousands - overcrowded living for the vast army of workers that sustained the great Victorian machine. Ambition and wealth saw social divisions become ever more acute, producing a society obsessed with class hierarchy. Now, for the first time, RCAHMS is showcasing images from its National Collection in a remarkable illustration of this landmark era. From the pioneering work of photographers like John Forbes White and Henry Bedford Lemerre, to never before seen excerpts from private family albums, Victorian Scotland is a window into the lives of the generation who changed the world.

This book begins with an in-depth reappraisal of Keynes, the prime architect of modern economics and many-sided genius who towered as a preceptor, economic statesman, institutional architect and progenitor of the IMF and the World Bank. It addresses the core question: In what sense was there a Keynesian Revolution? It also reviews the least known aspects of Keynes as a civil servant, as a social philosopher, and pro bono activist in causes of conscience. The second part comprises assorted essays that analyse significant themes of finance, development and central banking as well as the defining aspects of colonial Indian economic history. It evaluates the mainsprings of economic growth, taking account of the contribution of Arthur Lewis, the Nobel Laureate and evaluates the political economy of aid. It argues the case for a constitutionally independent Federal Reserve Bank of India. It has an archival essay on an American economist, Ralph Whitenack, who figures as modern Indias pioneer economic adviser. It surveys the interface between economics and philosophy, including the economic philoso-phy of Joan Robinson, the eminent British economist and presents an agenda for inter-disciplinary collaboration.
