| Summary: | Provides a readable and comprehensive survey of the economic history of Britain since industrialization. Pays particular attention to the explanation of quantitative and theory-based enquiry, but all forms of historical research are used to provide a comprehensive account of the development of the British economy. Vol. 1 covers the period 1700-1860 when Britain led the world in the process of industrialization. Vol. 2 examines the period 1860-1939 when British economic power was at its height. Vol. 3 covers the period 1939-2000, when Britain adjusted to a decline in manufacturing, an expansion of the service economy, and a repositioning of external economic activity towards Europe. |
