This is the first comprehensive history of the Scottish economy
over the last three centuries to appear in a generation. Written by
leading scholars in the field, it presents 'state of the art'
research in an accessible style to all those interested in
understanding the historical context of modern Scotland. Fresh
interpretations are revealed on such key and controversial issues
as the impact of the Union of 1707, the Clearances, the rise and
fall of Scottish heavy industry and the recent transformation of
the modern economy. The distinctive features of the Scottish
economic system are stressed but these are also analysed within a
British and international context. The focus of the volume is both
broad and detailed with full treatment of agriculture, finance,
industry and the service sector as well as the impact of momentous
economic changes on the lives of the people and the massive new
role in the twentieth century of the state in economic affairs. At
a time of intense debate on the present and future condition of
Scotland under a devolved parliament and executive, this book
provides the essential background and the long-run perspectives on
the challenges and opportunities facing the nation.
