Few would dispute that many Western industrial democracies undertook extensive deregulation in the 1970s and 1980s. Yet this narrative, in its most familiar form, depends upon several historiographical assumptions that bely the complexities and pitfalls of studying the recent past. Across thirteen case studies, the contributors to this volume investigate this “deregulatory moment” from a variety of historical perspectives, including transnational, comparative, pan-European, and national approaches. Collectively, they challenge an interpretive framework that treats individual decades in isolation and ignores broader trends that extend to the end of the Second World War.

Описание: Industrialization is still the factor that distinguishes the modern world from the past, and advanced countries from undeveloped ones. In this revised and expanded edition, Tom Kemp uses the historical record of industrialization to explore key questions about its impact and the significance we assign to it. The book adopts a thematic approach to examine the roles of technology, banking, transport and the state; the fate of the peasantry in an industrializing society; and the changing features of industrial capitalism in the latter part of the 19th century. It features four contrasted case studies from outside Europe - India, Canada, Japan and, for the first time in this second edition, South Africa. It is aimed at 1st year University/Polytechnic students and is suitable for courses in economic history, social history, development studies, applied economics, international economics and area studies.

Описание: This book takes the reader back to the era of industrialisation during the time of apartheid in South Africa, particularly in Butterworth in the Eastern Cape. Butterworth is a microcosm of the industrialisation policy of the apartheid government. Rural towns and townships were centres of economic development where black entrepreneurs were empowered to take over businesses that were started by white industrialists who were funded by government.
Butterworth makes a juxtaposition between the apartheid economic policy and job creation initiatives and those of the current democratic government which fails to stimulate the economy to create jobs for majority of South Africans. Those industrial sites are currently lying dormant as white elephants and have eventually closed down. Despite apartheid being a crime against humanity and also exploitative in paying lower wages especially to women, it had sound economic policies that created jobs for thousands of people via industrialisation. Therefore, there are valuable lessons that the democratic government can learn from the apartheid administration as far as job creation is concerned.
However, corruption is the biggest enemy of development and available funding does not filter down to entrepreneurs as it is diverted and looted by politicians via patronage. Economic development and job creation should not just be a prerogative of government alone; the private sector needs to invest in black businesses instead of investing in what politicians call 'white monopoly capital'. Equally, banks also need to participate positively by eradicating stringent requirements in issuing loans to black entrepreneurs to stimulate economic activity.
Автор: Peer Vries Название: Averting a Great Divergence: State and Economy in Japan, 1868-1937 ISBN: 1350196177 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781350196179 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 33780.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The most significant debate in global economic history over the past twenty years has dealt with the Great Divergence, the economic gap between different parts of the world. Thus far, this debate has focused on China, India and north-western Europe, particularly Great Britain. This book shifts the focus to ask how Japan became the only non-western county that managed, at least partially, to modernize its economy and start to industrialize in the 19th century.
Using a range of empirical data, Peer Vries analyses the role of the state in Japan’s economic growth from the Meiji Restoration to World War II, and asks whether Japan’s economic success can be attributed to the rise of state power. Asserting that the state’s involvement was fundamental in Japan’s economic ‘catching up’, he demonstrates how this was built on legacies from the previous Tokugawa period. In this book, Vries deepens our understanding of the Great Divergence in global history by re-examining how Japan developed and modernized against the odds.
