Industrialization and Regional Inequality: Wages in Britain, 1760–1914
描述了1760至1914年间英国工资的地理分布模式，探讨了工业化对地区收入不平等的影响，并分析了市场力量如何造成和维持这些差异，最后讨论了地区工资差异变化对生活水平争论的意义。
This paper describes the geographical pattern of wages in Britain between 1760 and 1914. It then draws out some of the implications of the wages pattern and considers, in particular, the implications for the “growth pole” debate on the likely effect of industrialization upon regional income inequalities. The market forces responsible for creating and maintaining these differentials are then described, followed by a final section which discsusses the significance of changing regional wage differentials to the standar-of-living debate. It concludes that from a regional perspective the overall effects of industrialization upon living standards are indisputably favorable.
