The Cambridge Economic History of Modern Britain 3 Volume Hardback Set

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 undergraduate and postgraduate 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; Volume II examines the period 1860–1939; the focus of volume III is 1939–2000. The books provide an invaluable guide for undergraduate and postgraduate students in history, economics and other social sciences.
