The publisher on this edition
Every great power believes it will last forever. Victorian Britain built the world's railways, financed global trade, and ruled a quarter of the map. Yet, during London's financial peak, British industry stalled. Eric Hobsbawm charts this decline, showing how a nation of pioneers became an empire of rentiers.
