The establishment of the Irish Free State gave rise to the first serious attempt to industrialise Ireland. Farming became orientated around pasture rather than tillage, with the industrialisation of processing of products and the export business. The country was gradually electrified and new factories were encouraged, such as the Irish Sugar Company in Carlow. During the late 1930s the Fianna Fáil government began a disastrous dispute with Britain over the payment of land annuities, called The Economic War. The Irish state refused to contin ...

Underdevelopment is the state of an organism or of an organisation (e.g. a country) that has not reached its maturity. It is often used for economic underdevelopment, and then means poverty, including lack of access to health care, to drinkable water, to food, to education and housing. The concept of economic underdevelopment was popularised from the late 1960s by Andre Gunder Frank who studied the effects of imperialism in Latin America. The argument was that that rich or industrialised countries blocked or defor ...

African socialism is the belief in the doctrine of sharing economic resources in a "traditional" African way, as compared to classical socialism. Many African politicians of the 1950s and 1960s professed a belief in African socialism, although interpretations varied considerably. After the independence of most African countries during the 1960s, newly formed African regimes could not easily claim a great victory over the Europeans if they continued to use the same system that those oppressors had designed, namely capitalism, si ...

Benelux is an economic union in Western Europe comprising three neighbouring monarchies, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. The name is formed from the beginning of each country's name, and was created for the Benelux Customs Union, but is now used in a more generic way.

It ceased to exist in 1960, when it was replaced by the Benelux Economic Union. It was preceded by a - still existin ...

Economic relations of Japan - Asia. The developing nations of Asia grew rapidly as suppliers to and buyers from Japan. In 1990 these sources (including South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, and other countries in Southeast Asia) accounted for 28.8 percent of Japan's exports, a share well below the 34 percent value of 1960 but one that had been roughly constant since 1970. In 1990 developing Asian countries provided 23 percent of Japa ...

Japan's international economic relations in the first three decades after World War II were shaped largely by two factors: a relative lack of domestic raw materials and a determination to catch up with the industrial nations of the West. Its exports have consisted almost exclusively of manufactured goods, and raw materials have represented a large share of its imports. The country's sense of dependency and vulnerability has also been strong because of its lack of raw materials. Japan's determination to catch up with the West encouraged polic ...

Main article: Celtic Tiger In the 1990s, the Republic's economic miracle began: the 'Celtic Tiger'. High FDI rate, a low corporate tax rate, good economic management and a new 'social partnership' approach to industrial relations together transformed the Irish economy. By 2000 the Republic had become one of Europe's wealthiest nations, unemployment was only 4% and income tax was almost half 1980s levels. During this time, the Irish economy grew by five to six percent annually, dramatically raising Irish living standa ...

The 1980s in the Republic of Ireland was one of the state's bleakest times. An extremely irresponsible budget by the majority Fianna Fail government in 1977, which included abolition of car tax and borrowing to fund current spending, combined with some global economic problems to ruin the Irish economy for most of the 1980s, causing high unemployment and mass emigration. It is generally accepted that the Charles Haughey and Garret FitzGerald governments made this bad situation much worse with more massive borrowing and tax rates as high as 60% (with one Fine ...

Economic history of Britain - Overview. By the time of Queen Victoria's death in 1901, other nations, including the United States and Germany, had developed their own industries; the United Kingdom's comparative economic advantage had lessened, and the ambitions of its rivals had grown. The losses and destruction of World War I, the depression in its aftermath during the 1930s, and decades of relatively slow growth eroded the United Kingdom's preeminent international position of the previous century. The Great De ...

The British Empire began in the age of Mercantilism, and economic theory stressed competition between nations for a finite amount of wealth. The modern British Empire first took shape in the early 17th century, with the British settlement of the eastern colonies of North America, which would later become the original United States, as well as Canada's Maritime provinces, and the colonisations of the smaller islands of the Car ...

By 2000 the world was a very different place to the world of 1900, and Britain too had undergone massive change. In the Labour Party's second term in office, beginning in 2001, the party increased taxes and borrowing. The government wanted the money to increase spending on public services, including the National Health Service which they claimed was suffering from chronic under funding. Throughout the term the economic growth continued, so the effects of the tax rises and borrowing were not felt by the electorate, and were even relat ...

Initially started to support William the Conqueror's (c. 1029-1087) holdings in France, England's policy of active involvement in continental European affairs endured for several hundred years. The Black Death which has become more recently known as the Black Plague, struck England and Europe particularly hard during the 14th Century and its effects were felt well into the 15th Century. England also suffered from a bullion famine as the silver mines of Europe either closed or fell to the Ottoman Empire, as in Serbia. By the end of the 14th century, foreign trade, originally based on wool exports ...
