The book "British Industrial Profit, Business Saving, and Investment, 1920-1938" provides original estimates of profits, dividend appropriation, and business saving for British industries from 1920-1938, and compares the financial performance of large companies quoted on the Stock Exchange with small unquoted private companies and unincorporated firms.

The 1959 Glasgow University study delved into British industrial profit, business saving, and investment, and its findings are explored in this book, originally published in 1965. Part 1 presents original estimates of profits in British industries from 1920 to 1938, when combined with Government estimates since 1948, enabling long-run studies of individual industry fortunes. Additionally, the allocation of profit between dividends and business saving is estimated for the manufacturing industry from 1920 to 1938. Part 2 delves into the extensive financial data collected during the Glasgow inquiry, focusing on the impact of firm size on financial performance. It compares the financial performance of large companies listed on the Stock Exchange with a sample of small unquoted private companies and unincorporated firms.
