The Cambridge Economic History of Europe

The Cambridge Urban History of Britain

The importance of general statistical principles of study design and analysis to quality-of-life assessment in clinical trials is emphasized. Basic methods are reviewed briefly, with reference to three examples. Careful use of standard tools supplemented with context-specific scales is recommended. Problems of weighting and aggregation are discussed; the use of simple weighting schemes supplemented by sensitivity analysis is suggested. Some technical issues are explored, including factorial question structure, components of variance to distinguish mean treatment and patient-specific treatment effects and informative loss to follow-up

Quality-Of-Life Assessment: Can We Keep it Simple?

Unlike most existing textbooks on the economic history of modern Europe, which offer a country-by-country approach, The Cambridge Economic History of Modern Europe rethinks Europe's economic history since 1700 as unified and pan-European, with the material organized by topic rather than by country. This second volume tracks Europe's economic history through three major phases since 1870. The first phase was an age of globalization and of European economic and political dominance that lasted until the First World War. The second, from 1914 to 1945, was one of war, deglobalization, and depression and the third was one of growing integration not only within Europe but also between Europe and the global economy. Leading authors offer comprehensive and accessible introductions to these patterns of globalization and deglobalization as well as to key themes in modern economic history such as economic growth, business cycles, sectoral developments, and population and living standards.

The Cambridge economic history of modern Europe

every schoolchild knows that an Industrial Revolution in late eighteenth-century Britain was followed by massive, rapid, urbanisation; that technological change created a world in which people interacted with nature and each other through work in new ways, and therefore lived different kinds of lives in places of a sort previously unknown; that the innovation of powered machinery sucked the British population into factory towns at hitherto remote locations. These novitiate certainties are a stark contrast to the disagreements of expert historians about the nature of economic development and urban growth, and the ways in which they were related, in Britain during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. There has been vigorous argument about what, exactly, the Industrial Revolution was ever since the term was first used. Recently, econometric analysis has even brought its very existence into question: whether the structure or growth trend of the British economy changed significantly before the 1840s is now hotly disputed. The high rates of urbanisation standing proudly in the statistical rubble created by this demolition job are not as incongruous as they might once have seemed. Complementary attacks on the idea that there was an Industrial Revolution in late eighteenth-century Britain, based on hypotheses about the processes of change rather than on trends in economic series, stress the continuing overweening significance of London through the eighteenth century, and are replacing Thomas Gradgrind’s Coketown with Samuel Pickwick’s Eatanswill as the fictional exemplar of provincial urban life.
