Sidney Pollard was a labor historian who pioneered the study of economic management in history and the understanding of the economic processes by which regions are formed. This article addresses three key moments in his work: his early studies of the genesis of industrial management, his later interest in the reasons for Britain's relative economic decline, and finally those passages in which Pollard attempted to relate his interests to the history of economic thought. The article concludes by arguing that Pollard is distinguished from other writers, such as Harry Braverman, who addressed similar themes, first by a greater empiricism and second by a greater debt to pre-Marxist socialist theories, including those of Fourier and Saint-Simon.
