The work systematically documents the nation's transition from the apex of Victorian industrial dominance through the upheavals of two world wars, the Great Depression, and the profound structural shifts that reshaped British society from the ground up.\n\nAshworth, writing as Professor of Economic and Social History at the University of Bristol, brings rigorous analytical precision and narrative authority to the subject, situating England's economic fortunes within a broader international context. His account illuminates the intricate relationships between capital, labour, industry, and policy, drawing on a wealth of statistical and archival evidence to argue that the period 1870–1939 was nothing less than the crucible in which modern Britain was forged. A cornerstone text for students and scholars of economic history alike, this work leaves one wondering how the decisions of that era continue to echo in the economic fabric of Britain today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203145146587,"sku":"2026200014829-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/2fdad16d-fd52-4d39-9209-fbc988cfd063.png?v=1788144698","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014829-secondhand-an-economic-history-of-england-1870-1939","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
