“…de Wolff ( 1924 ). One can also mention William Henry Beveridge (better known, perhaps, as Lord Beveridge, the author of the so-called Beveridge Report on Social Insurance and Allied Services of 1942 that served after the Second World War as the basis for the British Welfare State, especially the National Health Service), who discovered a number of cycles in the long-term dynamics of wheat prices, whereas one of those cycles turned to have an average periodicity of 54 years (Beveridge, 1921(Beveridge, , 1922.…”

The Springer series International Perspectives on Social Policy, Administration and Practice puts the spotlight on international and comparative studies of social policy, administration, and practice with an up-to-date assessment of their character and development. In particular, the series seeks to examine the underlying assumptions of the practice of helping professions, nonprofi t organization and management, and public policy and how processes of both nation-state and globalization are affecting them. The series also includes specifi c country case studies, with valuable comparative analysis across Asian, African, Latin American, and Western welfare states.The series International Perspectives on Social Policy, Administration and Practice commissions approximately six books per year, focusing on international perspectives on social policy, administration, and practice, especially an East-West connection. It assembles an impressive set of researchers from diverse countries illuminating a rich, deep, and broad understanding of the implications of comparative accounts on international social policy, administration, and practice.More information about this series at

“…Periodogram or spectral analysis, whose application in economics dates back to at least Beveridge (1922) and with which Schumpeter was thoroughly familiar and not even unsympathetic despite negative results 5 , unfortunately did not belong to Kondratief's toolbox. But it is the main tool for detecting cycles in time-series statistics.…”

“…The choice of title is somewhat odd as there were no gauges in Wales until the late eighteenth century and only a few in upland areas of England and Wales until about 1840. The choice seems to have been influenced by the publication of a wheat price series for the same region (Beveridge, 1922) and a desire to know how much variation in this price index might be explained by the variability of precipitation.…”

Unusual Climate in Northwest Europe During the Period 1730 to 1745 Based on Instrumental and Documentary Data

This study focuses on one of the most interesting times of the early instrumental period in northwest Europe (from 1730-1745) attempting to place the extremely cold year of 1740 and the unusual warmth of the 1730s decade in a longer context. The similarity of the features in the few long (and independent) instrumental records together with extensive documentary evidence clearly indicates that remarkable climatic changes occurred rapidly in this period. We use unpublished subjective circulation charts developed by the late Hubert Lamb, to assist in understanding the course of events, particularly during the extreme year of 1740 and the four subsequent years. We also compare these subjective charts with others recently developed using more objective modern reconstruction techniques. Apart from evidence of a reduction in the number of explosive volcanic eruptions following the 1690s, it is difficult to explain the changes in terms of our knowledge of the possible factors that have influenced this region during the 19th and 20th centuries. The study, therefore, highlights how estimates of natural climatic variability in this region based on more recent data may not fully encompass the possible known range.
