British Imperialism by Peter Cain
A milestone in the understanding of British history and imperialism, and truly global in its reach, this magisterial account received numerous accolades from reviewers in its first edition. The first to coin the phrase "gentlemanly capitalism", Cain and Hopkins make the strong and provocative argument that it is impossible to understand the nature and evolution of British imperialism without taking account of the peculiarities of her economic development. In particular, the growth of the financial sector - and above all, the City of London - played a crucial role in shaping the course of British history and Britain's relations overseas. Now with a substantive new introduction and a conclusion, the scope of the original account has been widened to include an innovative discussion of globalization.
"A magisterial account of 300 years of British history, properly putting the empire right at the centre" Will Hutton, The Guardian " A stunning mixture of narrative, analysis and brillian historiographical deconstruction." Denis MacShane, New Statesman "As erudite as it is stimulating." Le Monde Diplomatique "Essential reading for anyone working in the City." Sunday Telegraph
P.J.Cain teaches in the Department of History, Sheffield Hallam University. A.G. Hopkins is based at Pembroke College, University of Cambridge.
