Abstract

Some confusion surrounds the dating and importance of financial crises in eighteenth-century England. By looking at the pattern of bankruptcy much of this confusion can be cleared up. Crises in public finance created few bankrupts and affected the economy less than did crises in private finance. The novelty, speculation and political uncertainty that created crises in public finance all became less significant factors in the second half of the century. But in the last third of the century the more intensive and extensive use of trade credit, along with stronger speculative tendencies encouraged by economic growth, were powerful forces creating crises of private finance. The pattern of financial crises demonstrates changing uses of finance and changing in the strength of financial ties within the domestic economy during early industrialization. It also shows how erratic and uncertain the growth process seemed at the time.
