A foundational work in economic history, this volume by the eminent British scholar and socialist thinker G. D. H. Cole presents a sweeping survey of economic development from the mid-eighteenth century through to the mid-twentieth. Spanning two hundred years of transformative change, the text chronicles the rise of industrial capitalism, the evolution of labour movements, and the shifting structures of trade, production, and commerce across Britain and the wider world. Cole argues with characteristic clarity and conviction, weaving political economy together with social history to illuminate how ordinary men and women were shaped by — and in turn shaped — the great economic forces of their era. Written with the authority of a scholar who was himself a significant figure in left-wing intellectual life, this work remains an accessible and intellectually rigorous introduction to the period's defining economic themes.
