The Rise And Fall Of The British Nation by David Edgerton
A Twentieth-Century History
A revisionist history of twentieth-century Britain that challenges myths of linear decline and empire-centered narratives, arguing that a state-led, militarized, and technologically advanced national economy flourished from the 1930s to the 1960s before being dismantled by privatization, financialization, and globalization. It traces shifts in industry, science, welfare, and trade to show how a distinctly mid-century national project was actively constructed—and later unwound—by policy choices, urging a rethinking of how production, power, and identity shaped the country’s modern trajectory.
