'an appealing textbook...strongly recommended' Business History

Product Description

This volume devised in conjunction with the Economic History Society offers a wide-ranging, clearly structured introduction to the economic and social development of western Europe since the Second World War. Like its predecessor, it is attractively written for a non-specialist readership by a team of experts addressing a common brief, and it is imaginatively presented, with many photographs, case-studies, diagrams, tables and other material to enrich and diversify the text.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bible of European Economic History Since 1945!, February 2, 2002

By	An Orloff (USA) - See all my reviews

This book is used extensively by the Economic History Department at The London School of Economics. Of course, this should surprise no one who is familiar with the academics who contributed to this work. Many authors, including the esteemed editor, hold teaching positions at the school. But considering this is the best economic history department in the UK, and perhaps the world, this fact should serve as a useful endorsement for anyone interested in economic history.
