Michael Dintenfass provides a challenging account of Britain's economic performance since 1870. He combines a succinct, clearly-written survey of recent scholarly work in British economic and business history with an original interpretive alternative to the institutionalized accounts of Britain's relative decline. Dintenfass addresses both specifically economic questions and socio-historical questions to place Britain's economic history in its broadest context.
Introduction 1. The Historical Record 2. Tools and Techniques 3. A Question of Skill 4. The Bias of Capital 5. Not a Nation of Shopkeepers 6. An Anti-Industrial Society? Conclusion
