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.
