Synopsis
Excerpt from The British Trade Book
The conclusion to be drawn from J evons' facts would seem a pretty Obvious one had it not taken so long to be realised. It is that no argument can stand which does not take account of the cycle of trade. NO comparison of isolated years, no comparison of short consecutive periods can be relied upon to give properly comparable data. And if averages are to be used at all, the least that must be demanded are decennial averages. By averaging each year with at least nine others, allowance will be made for the usual number of fat and lean seasons; and by a series of decennial averages taken annually, it will be possible to indicate with accuracy the general trend of phenomena as distinguished from the oscillations of particular years.

The British Trade Book (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines British trade and industry over the last 150 years, challenging economic theory with statistical evidence. By using a rolling ten-year average method to smooth data fluctuations, the author uncovers long-term trade trends not readily apparent in year-on-year examination. The evidence presented questions the accepted benefits of free trade and debunks the idea that economic progress equates to rising exports. An international comparison of trade, employment and other economic indicators shows that Britainās reliance on foreign trade for economic prosperity is misplaced and contrasts with rival nations like Germany who prioritize home production. The author concludes that excessive reliance on imported goods, rising imports of finished manufactured goods, and a decline in agricultural self-sufficiency all point to vulnerabilities in the British economy and a need to re-evaluate economic priorities.
