Sidney Pollard has provided a concise survey of economic issues
for students of the European community.
Going back to 1815, he links the progress of industrialisation
in Europe to the relative ease with which ideas, men and capital
were able to cross national frontiers. European frontiers make
little economic sense and frequently cut across vital natural
links. Professor Pollard shows how open frontiers speeded progress,
in the particular circumstances of the spread of industrialisation
from Britain to Western Europe and then to the rest of the
continent, adn opened up new markets and opportunities of learning
and technology transfer. Closed frontiers and the national
selfishness of economic warfare led in contrast to stagnation,
hostility and at times to all-out war. This classic study was first
published in 1981.
