A milestone in the understanding of British history and
imperialism, this ground-breaking book radically reinterprets the
course of modern economic development and the causes of overseas
expansion during the past three centuries. Employing their concept
of 'gentlemanly capitalism', the authors draw imperial and domestic
British history together to show how the shape of the nation and
its economy depended on international and imperial ties, and how
these ties were undone to produce the post-colonial world of today.
Containing a significantly expanded and updated Foreword and
Afterword, this third edition assesses the development of the
debate since the book's original publication, discusses the
imperial era in the context of the controversy over globalization,
and shows how the study of the age of empires remains relevant to
understanding the post-colonial world. Covering the full extent of
the British empire from China to South America and taking a broad
chronological view from the seventeenth century to post-imperial
Britain today, British Imperialism: 1688-2015 is the perfect read
for all students of imperial and global history.
