Following the Brexit vote, this book offers a timely historical
assessment of the different ways that Britain's economic future has
been imagined and how British ideas have influenced global debates
about market relationships over the past two centuries. The 2016 EU
referendum hinged to a substantial degree on how competing visions
of the UK should engage with foreign markets, which in turn were
shaped by competing understandings of Britain's economic past. The
book considers the following inter-related questions: - What roles
does economic imagination play in shaping people's behaviour and
how far can insights from behavioural economics be applied to
historical issues of market selection? - How useful is the concept
of the 'official mind' for explaining the development of market
relationships? - What has been the relationship between expanding
communications and the development of markets? - How and why have
certain regions or groupings (e.g. the Commonwealth) been
'unimagined'- losing their status as promising markets for the
future?
