Great Britain and the Colonies 1815-1865 edited and introduced by A GL Shaw

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges, particularly tail foredge. Interior and binding are still excellent—part of the Debates in Economic History Series.

This collection of articles reviews the arguments of economic writers from the first half of the 19th century on the British Empire. It suggests that the British were more interested in their Empire than is often supposed, and many economists and others justified its existence on economic grounds.
