Synopsis

This book analyzes and interprets official statistics on British income and property, primarily those from the period 1842-1914, using these statistics as a lens to understand economic problems and social change across the 'long' nineteenth century. The author examines the methods of calculating income from various sectors and sources, such as land, houses, businesses, and investments, and offers a unique set of tables that bridge gaps or breaks caused by changes in the legal and administrative basis of assessment, so that a real comparability may exist between years widely separated. Other topics include economic inequality, shifting patterns of property ownership, and the overall distribution of income. Drawing on previously unused or obscure sources of data, this book provides the fullest picture to date of income and property in the UK during the period which saw the country transformed from a largely agricultural society to an industrial powerhouse. It offers a rich resource for economic and social historians.
