Late Nineteenth-Century American Development is an economist's attempt to interpret a critical period of US history, from Civil War to World War I. The questions raised have always been at the heart of American historiography. What accounts for the retardation up to the turn of the century? How did capital markets operate and what was their influence on the pace and pattern of our growth? What determined farm performance and what impact did that performance have on the economy as a whole? Yet while the questions raised in this book are familiar, the methods are not. This book blends traditional historical analysis with general equilibrium theory, modern macroeconomics and simulation analysis. The result is a provocative book of remarkable scope which offers a fresh interpretation of late nineteenth-century American growth.

My contributions to economic development in the Third World have been mainly in the general equilibrium analysis of multi-sectoral dualistic models, the operation of labour markets, the deter-
minants of inequality, and the accumulation process. These interests have recently culminated in my collaborative work with Allen Kelley on ThirdWorld city growth problems. My contributions to economic history departed from conventional empirical analysis in about 1971.
Since that time I have devoted almost all of my efforts to the application of applied general equilibrium models to industrial revolution experience in Japan, America and Britain. lieutenant is in this area that my cliometric contributions have been most significant. Almost all of my work has dealt with the quantitative documentation and understanding of economic growth from low income levels.
Recently, however, my interests have shifted to problems of inequality and demographic change, especially those which centre on urban growth.
