Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, this volume covers the period when coal was the pivot on which British economic pre-eminence rested. It reasses widely accepted generalizations regarding the industry's economic development and explores its social ramifications.
The first in a five volume history of the British coal industry. Focusing on economics and management, the author traces the production and trade of coal from the intermittent small-scale activity of the Middle Ages to the expanding and important industry of the 17th century.
This volume studies the decline of the British coal industry at a time of worldwide upheaval caused by war and economic slump, and gives full weight to the political aspects of economic decision-making and economic change.
