Geography, Institutions, and the Knowledge Economy
This PDF is a selection from a published volume from the National Bureau of Economic Research Volume Title: Understanding Long-Run Economic Growth: Geography, Institutions, and the Knowledge Economy Volume Author/Editor: Dora L. Costa and Naomi R. Lamoreaux Volume Publisher: University of Chicago Press Volume ISBN: 0-226-11634-4 Volume URL: http://www.nber.org/books/cost10-1 Conference Date: November 7-8, 2008 Publication Date: August 2011 Chapter Title: Two Roads to the Transportation Revolution: Early Corporations in the United Kingdom and the United States Chapter Author: Dan Bogart, John Majewski Chapter URL: http://www.nber.org/chapters/c11999 Chapter pages in book: (p. 177 - 204) 6 Two Roads to the Transportation Revolution Early Corporations in the United Kingdom and the United States Dan Bogart and John Majewski 6.1 Introduction The complex relationship between geography and institutions was a key theme of Ken Sokloff’s work. In analyzing the development of the Ameri- cas, Sokoloff and Engerman famously argued that factor endowments like geography and population density profoundly infl uenced the evolution of important economic institutions. The cultivation of highly profi table staple crops—and a readily available pool of exploitable labor—created high levels of inequality in Latin America and the Caribbean. Powerful groups of infl u- ential insiders had little to gain (and often much to lose) from open incorpora- tion, public schooling, expanded suffrage, and other institutions associated with long- term development. In North America (especially in the U.S. North and Canada), environmental conditions prevented the cultivation of staple crops, which encouraged entrepreneurs to focus on raising long- term land values via settlement. -

1 THE EASTERLING JOURNAL OF THE EASTANGLIAN WATERWAYS ASSOCIATION VOLUME NINE, NUMBER NINE JUNE 2014 Edited by Alan H. Faulkner 43 Oaks Drive, Colchester, Essex CO3 3PS Phone 01206 767023 E-mail [email protected] ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING The 44 th Annual General Meeting was held on Sunday 18 May based on St. Mary’s Church Hall, Westry, March in Cambridgeshire. The day started off with a visit to the nearby boatyard operated by Fox Narrow Boats where we were met by Paula Syred, daughter of the late Charlie Fox who had established the business in 1959. Members were given an interesting presentation of how the company had developed before looking round the marina and being able to inspect two of the current hire boats – Leisurely Fox and Silver Fox - both of which looked extremely smart. And then it was back to St. Marys where we were fortunate in being able to look round the recently restored church that had suffered an arson attack four years ago. Members then enjoyed an excellent luncheon laid on by Margaret Martin and her team before turning to the formal business of the day. 2 The Director’s Report and Accounts for the year ending 30 June 2013 were duly, approved before Alan Faulkner, David Mercer and Jeff Walters were re-elected as Directors and John Cordran was re-elected as Accounts Scrutineer. Chris Black then gave a full report about the progress on the North Walsham & Dilham Canal and the meeting concluded with a report by Chairman Roger which centred round the Environment Agency’s reduction in dredging and maintenance. -

INTRODUCTION `I wish with all my heart that half the turnpike roads of the Kingdom were plough'd up ...' exclaimed John Byng in 1775, at about the same time as Arthur Young was making an uncomfortable journey through Lancashire, com- plaining amongst other things, of 'ruts, which I actually measured, four feet deep, and floating with mud' on the turnpike to Wigan. -

DeDicattons of tfte Cfjutcbcs of ©ometsetsftire. BY THE KEY. E. H. BATES, M.A HE late Mr. W illiam Long contributed to the seventeenth “L volume of the Proceedings in 1871 a classified list of the Church Dedications given by Ecton in his Thesaurus Rerum Ecclesiasticarum, 1742. As Editor of the Bath and Wells Diocesan Kalendar my attention has been frequently drawn, from my own knowledge as well as by numerous correspon- dents, to the many errors and gaps in that list. It became plainly necessary to go behind the Thesaurus to the original sources of information. And here I may be allowed to repro- duce what I have already stated in the preface to the Kalendar for 1905. It should be clearly understood that there is no authoritative list in existence. Among the Public Becords are two works known as Pope Nicholas’ Taxatio of 1291, and the Valor Ec- clesiasticus of 27 Henry VIII (1536), containing the names of all parishes in England and Wales. These were primarily drawn up to ascertain the value of the benefices, and only in- cidentally, as in the case of towms with many churches, are the dedications added. The latter work, to which the title of V^ahr Ecclesiasticus or Liber Regis is generally given, was first printed in 1711 by J ohn Ecton. His preface contains a very interesting account of the early work of the Queen Anne’s Bounty Fund, of which he was Receiver, and of the serious state of affairs in the large towns which led to its foundation. -

Spending All Our Days at Home – Other Than Exercise and Those Shopping Trips for Essentials (If You Are Not Self-Isolating
Spending all our days at home – other than exercise and those shopping trips for essentials (if you are not self-isolating when you can’t even do that) – we have all had a lot of time to think. What have I thought about and what have I discovered during this time? I have discovered BBC Radio 3! I think my opinions of it were many years out of date – or possibly (and probably) my tastes have changed. Fabulous music, and you don’t have to put up with adverts. I’ve discovered pretty much every single footpath and lane that you can reach from Broadway in an hour’s walk or cycle ride – and we have all enjoyed gorgeous weather to appreciate it or our gardens even more. I’ve discovered once again the natural generosity and kindness of the vast majority of our villagers who are supporting the most vulnerable members of our communities. I’ve discovered the power of video conferencing on our computers which has enabled many of us to stay in touch with each other, and come together for prayer, worship, and mutual support. I’ve discovered how strange it is to be unable to plan …..anything: work, family, holidays; after a lifetime of planning. Very strange. John Lennon says life is what happens while you are making other plans. We have had to learn to live for the moment; and that does not come naturally or easily. But if we embrace it we may find it truly liberating. I’ve discovered again the wonderful sense of humour of the British people. -
