The Economic Development of Russia, 1905-1914

"The Economic Development of Russia, 1905-1914" offers an in-depth scholarly analysis of the Russian Empire's financial and industrial transformation during the pivotal decade preceding the First World War. Margaret Miller provides a comprehensive examination of the structural changes within the Russian economy, focusing specifically on the growth of domestic industry, the expansion of international trade, and the evolution of the national financial system.

The work explores the state's role in fostering economic progress, the influx of foreign capital, and the development of a modern banking infrastructure. By meticulously documenting the period from the 1905 Revolution to the eve of the Great War, the book clarifies the complexities of Russia's transition toward a modernized industrial power. It remains a significant resource for understanding the economic underpinnings of late Imperial Russia, offering detailed insights into the agricultural reforms, railway expansion, and fiscal policies that defined the era. This study is essential for historians and economists interested in the intersection of policy and production within one of the world's most rapidly changing pre-war economies.
