Industry and Empire

This outstanding history describes and accounts for Britain's rise as the world's first industrial world power, its decline from the temporary dominance of the pioneer, its rather special relationship with the rest of the world (notably the underdeveloped countries) and the effects of all these on the life of the British people.

Aceasta istorie remarcabila descrie si explica ascensiunea Marii Britanii ca prima putere mondiala industriala a lumii, declinul ei de la dominatia temporara a pionierului, relatia sa destul de speciala cu restul lumii (in special tarile subdezvoltate) si efectele tuturor acestora asupra viata poporului britanic.
