*Winner of the the Deutscher Memorial Prize 2003* This book is a
reassessment of Scottish politics and society in the late
seventeenth and early eighteenth century. Neil Davidson argues that
Scotland experienced a revolution during this period that has
rarely been recognised in the existing historiography. Davidson
explores the political and economic changes of these years,
revealing how social and economic power was transferred from one
class to another. He describes how Scotland was transformed from a
backward and feudal economy to a new centre of emergent capitalism.
He traces the economic and social crisis that led to Scotland's
incorporation into the Union in 1707, but argues that the Union did
not lead to the transformation of Scottish society. The decisive
period was instead the aftermath of the last Jacobite revolt in
1746, whose failure was integral to the survival and consolidation
of British, and ultimately global capitalism.
