Summary: 19th century england and internet bubble
Comment: I think this is the book I read in 1969 about the Depression of 1888 in England---somtimes referred to as "after the rairoads were built". Rostow's analysis allowed me to see parallels in 1990's and avoid the crash and prosper in its aftermath. Great economic history. ape

Summary: A scholarly look at the British economy of the 19th Century.
Comment: This book is a collection of essays, each examining various aspects of the British economy in the Nineteenth Century. It contains quite a large number of charts, and is heavily footnoted. These essays are written in a scholarly (almost turgid) style, which means that the casual reader will have some trouble following them. Fortunately, this book does examine the Great Depression of 1873-96 in depth, and from several different angles.
