Summary: 'For a brief period', writes Eric Hobsbawm, 'it coincided with the history of a single country, Great Britain.' His 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. A book that attracts and deserves attention. Eric Hobsbawm, by far the most gifted historian now writing, has produced an original and masterly reinterpretation of Western economic.
