Synopsis
Excerpt from Progress and the Fiscal Problem
As a means of education in the widest sense the fiscal problem may certainly be expected to do lasting good. We have all been incited to study the elements of national well-being in a way we never did before. The business of the country in its various departments - coal mining, iron, cotton, woollens, and shipping - has been brought home to us with a Vividness and in a detail which to most of us have been as informing as they have been surprising. We have learned, too, to take a wider and more familiar interest in the questions of Empire and of the future of the English-speaking race, which we hope will bear good fruit. If we come to realize how necessary education in the ordinary sense is now for the healthy progress of industry, the agitation caused by Mr. Chamberlain will not have been in vain.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the emergence of the Fiscal Problem in Britain following decades of Free Trade and economic dominance, and the drastic shifts required to remain competitive against resurgent industrial powers in Germany and the United States. The author, an esteemed economist with unique insight into international economic history, provides an invaluable comparison of the industrial realities and economic strengths of Britain, Germany, and America at the turn of the 20th Century. He examines the factors that fueled Germany and the United States' rapid rise to prominence and dominance in the manufacturing sector, and sets them against the historical development of Britain's economy. Economic policy and industrial progress are deeply intertwined, and this text maintains that economics and politics are inseparable from a nation's true wellbeing. With compelling evidence, the author argues against excessive government intervention in industry, while advocating for a balanced approach that nurtures domestic industry without stifling innovation. The insights presented in this book are indispensable reading for economists, policymakers, and historians alike, and provide a vital lens through which to view the continued evolution of international competition in the 21st century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
