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 III 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. It
will be an invaluable guide for undergraduate and postgraduate students in
history, economics and other social sciences.
