Rick Garside
Professor Garside is an economic historian with special interests in the management of economic change and in particular the role of government micro- and macroeconomic policy as it impacts upon labour, industry and national competitiveness. He was Professor of Economic History at the Univeristy of Birmingham, Uk between 1991 and 2001. His previous research has ranged over a number of themes including unemployment and public policy in the inter-war period, employers' industrial relations strategies, the international impact of the Great Depression, national and regional change in the British coalmining industry, the sources and validity of unemployment statistics since 1850, the 'Keynesian revolution' and economic policy, and the nature and causes of relative economic decline in Britain since the turn of the 20th century. He is currently engaged on a study of government, markets and industry in Japan since 1945 building on work first started as a Visiting Professor at the Institute of Economic Research, Hitotsubashi University, Tokyo.
