Overview

The Cambridge Economic History of Modern Britain provides a readable and
comprehensive survey of the economic history of Britain since industrialisation,
based on the most up-to-date research into the subject. Roderick Floud and Paul
Johnson have assembled a team of fifty leading scholars from around the world to
produce a set of volumes which are both a lucid textbook for students and an
authoritative guide to the subject. The text 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. Volume I covers the period 1700-1860 when
Britain led the world in the process of industrialisation. It will be an
invaluable guide for undergraduate and postgraduate students in history,
economics and other social sciences.
