Public Finance and the Industrialization of Prussia, 1815–1866: A Correction
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 February 2011
Extract
My article on Prussian public finance in the December 1966 issue of this Journal contained some errors of calculation which partially affect the arguments I advanced there and which provide an excellent object lesson in the hasty use of quantitative evidence. After unaccountably converting current prices into constant ones by multiplication instead of division, I rushed the results off to the editors without checking them.
