Economic History of England 1870-1939

<p>This is a comprehensive account of a decisive epoch in England's economic development by a leading economic historian.</p><p>'Works of economic history often get bogged dwon in figures - so many machines so much unemployment often too they are histories of technology not of economic organization. Professor Ashworth goes to the opposite extreme in a most praiseworthy way: his book is actually good to read. Though there are tables of statistics (eleven of them) the book is an essay in interpretation not an encyclopedia; it enriches our understanding rather than adding to our knowledge.' <em>A.J.P. Taylor.</em></p><p>This classic book was first published in 1960.</p>
