Drawing on extensive archival material from key sites such as St Paul’s Cathedral and London Bridge, it describes the organization of contracts and work on large-scale ‘extraordinary’ projects and maintenance contracts in the city during a key period of architectural and organizational development in Britain. Stephenson shows that the organisation of the industry and the welfare of its workers were shaped by the contracts and finance of large institutions and ambitious businessmen. Providing fresh wage and earnings data for craftsmen and labourers during the period, it offers new material and debate for economic, business and construction historians.Palgrave Studies in Economic History,2662-6500Economic historyLabor economicsUrban economicsArchitectureHistoryLaborHistoryCities and townsHistoryEconomic HistoryLabor EconomicsUrban EconomicsArchitectural History and TheoryLabor HistoryUrban HistoryEconomic history.Labor economics.Urban economics.ArchitectureHistory.Labor.History.Cities and townsHistory.Economic History.Labor Economics.Urban Economics.Architectural History and Theory.Labor History.Urban History.338.4769009421Stephenson Judy Zauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut943092MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910410057303321Contracts and Pay2128307UNINA
