The Economic History of Britain Since 1700

by Roderick Floud (Editor), Donald McCloskey (Editor)

This three-volume set succeeds the first edition originally published in 1981. Volume 1 covers the period 1700-1860, that of Britain's rise to relative economic supremacy. Volume 2 discusses the period 1860-1939, that of the height of British economic power and of painful readjustment after 1914. Volume 3 considers the period since 1939, that of relative economic decline and of increasing involvement with the European Community.

As a collection of essays by different writers on different subjects, this book is hit and miss. However, especially in more recent editions, it remains the standard text on the subject.
