However it is a period that has received comparatively little historical attention. This thesis seeks to provide an analysis of some of the key features of this system, especially the London banks that stood at its core. It also seeks to show how banking related to the contemporary economy. While banking is usually linked to the growth of industry, especially outside of the provinces, this thesis argues that a new approach is required, which takes into account the banks’ close relationship with England’s important commercial sector.

C. ALLEN Britain had a unique wage and price structure in the eighteenth century, and that structure is a key to explaining the inventions of the industrial revolution. British wages were very high by international standards, and energy was very cheap. This configuration led British firms to invent technologies that substituted capital and energy for labour. High wages also increased the supply of technology by enabling British people to acquire education and training.

  • The Impact of the English Civil War on the Economy of London, 1642-1650, by Ben Coates
    The Impact of the English Civil War on the Economy of London, 1642-1650, by Ben Coates. Abstract. The purpose of this thesis is to ask to what extent and in what ways the economy of London was affected by the English Civil War. This w ill be placed in the context of the evolution o f London’s economy and society in the 16th and 17th centuries. Comparisons with the impact of the C ivil War on the economy of other parts of England will be made. The focus w ill be on the short term effects of the C ivil War. In the first part of thesis the impact on the economy of London of Parliamentary taxation, loans and contracts for Parliament’s war effort w ill be assessed, as well as the policies of economic blockade pursued by the belligerents. Subsequently the impact of disruption brought about by the English C ivil War on the major props of the London economy w ill be examined, namely London’s role in the internal and external trades of England, and manufacturing in London. It w ill be argued that the C ivil War caused a major economic crisis in London partly because the economy of the metropolis rested on its interrelationship with the test of England, and also because of its function as the capital as the centre for the social and economic networks of the kingdom. The Civil War disrupted those networks. However the impact of the war was limited because the disruption of the national economic networks was partial, and because different aspects were disrupted at different times.

  • 2016 Research Note: 'Brexit and Real Estate'
    OAK INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT GROUP JUNE (2) 2016 Brexit and Real Estate If General de Gaulle had not lost a popular referendum in France in 1969 (by a margin of 52/48) maybe the Britain would not have been admitted finally into the EEC in 1973. Britain had tried to join twice in 1963 and 1967. De Gaulle sensed with his intimate knowledge of the British from his wartime sojourn in London and North Africa that they could not belong to his vision for European co-operation. Maybe it was their merchant- nature, their pragmatism or their ruthlessness. Certainly, all of these characteristics were on display when the UK voted to leave the European Union on 23rd June 2016. Economically speaking, the EEC/EU had served the UK well between accession in 1973 and the financial crash of 2008 but then the block has failed to recover its GDP, its vivacity and its allure for UK voters. Unlike other European countries the community / Union was never a political project - so when the tangible economic argument was lost in the minds of the people, all the political irritants that had been boiling away for over forty years came to the fore. ‘Taking back control’ - the slogan of the leave campaign was predominantly a political not an economic argument. Now that the people of the UK have made a political decision (decision is derived from the Latin to cut), the economic question of free market access comes back to the fore. On what basis may goods and services be sold to and from the European continent? The UK is exposed as never before since (perhaps even including) the time of Napoleon to ‘fortress’ Europe that has mercantilism in its DNA - and which the UK found so restrictive when it was part of the EU.

Fog, which persisted all day, lifted just before the match began and the game took place in brilliant sunshine but with a rather strong breeze across the pitch. Liverpool pressed strongly from the beginning and after fifteen minutes they were rewarded with a goal by Smith, the left winger, from an opening made by Bass, who had headed across the goal mouth. Play was fairly even for the next twenty minutes and then London broke away and Anthony, the centre forward, scored for the visitors. Both goal-keepers had more to do in the second half and had it not been the good work of Ford, the keeper for London, who made two excellent saves, the visitors would probably have been defeated, whereas the match ended in a draw.
