Description

In Britain in the World Economy since 1880, Bernard Alford examines the shifting role of the United Kingdom within the global market. This volume of the Social and Economic History of England tracks the nation's transition from a global superpower at the height of its empire to an offshore member of the European Community. Alford analyzes the connection between imperial reach and economic performance, evaluating how policy shaped the country's trajectory. The text provides a comparative look at Britain's economic standing against major partners like America and Japan, covering the period through and beyond the Thatcher years. Readers gain a detailed perspective on whether the perceived economic decline of the nation represents an absolute loss or a period of restructuring.
