JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSThe inter-war period witnessed a transformation of economic attitudes and policies in most of the caditalist countries In this trotlbled period, the recovery policy of the British government was remarkable for its orthodoxy. In other countries, new and old industries developed at the same time, but, in Britain, the 1920's formed a watershed between the old industrial regime and the new industrial economy. In spite of the fact that the old industry had entered the stage of decline, most of the factors of production were over-committed to the old industry, and it still continued to develop. Thus, the readjustment of the British economic structure was delayed. When, however, the rapid and full shift of resources from the old staple industry to the new one took place during the inter-war period, it became the major determinants of the British economic performance. Despite many difficult factors, such as heavy unemployment, declining export, and stagnating old industry, the overall growth of the British economy was respectable in this period. The early start thesis have applied to the intra-industry (old staple industry), particularly in the 19th century Britain. But the problem of inter-war period was the inter-industry (new and developing industry) approach. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the extent to which the early start proved a handicap when it became necessary to transfer resources to new industry. Over-commitment was one of the most important factors cxplaining the s1ow growth of the new industry in the early decades. It could be argued that Britain benefited from the fact that adjustment of the economic structure had been delayed in the past, and, through the readjustment of the economic structure, the new industry played the major role in the economic recovery of Britain in the 1930's.View full abstractDownload PDF (1847K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSAgrarians and traditional historians viewed the farm mortgage as one of the major grievances of western farmers in the late nineteenth century. It is said that eastern moneylenders charging usurious interest rates were robbing the debt-ridden farmers of the Middle West. Recent historians, however, tend to emphasis the brighter side of farm mortgages. The revisionists hold that (1) the proportion of mortgaged farms was not high enough to arouse farmers; (2) farmers borrowed money for productive purposes; (3) the interest rates were declining throughout the decades; (4) the average life span of a farm mortgage was very short; and (5) the source of mortgage credit was the Middle West. The purpose of this paper is to reexamine the arguments upheld by revisionist historians, especially those based on quantitative methods.View full abstractDownload PDF (1724K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSThe purpose of this paper is to follow the decline of traditional iron industry (Tatara) in Japan in three stages. The first blow to the industry was the poor harvest of 1869. Iron masters were further pressed by new mineral acts of Meiji government in 1872-1873. Though they enjoyed feudal privileges vested by Han government during the Edo period, these privileges were abolished by the new acts. The final blow was the increase of imports of iron from western countries. Japanese iron produced under traditional methods could not match imported iron both in quality and price. The decline of traditional iron industry led to the introduction of western methods of iron production in the early Meiji period.View full abstractDownload PDF (1964K) -
