The Financial Revolution in England

Download or read book The Financial Revolution in England written by Peter George Muir Dickson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1993 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Dickson's important study of the origins and development of the system of public borrowing which enabled Great Britain to emerge as a world power in the eighteenth century has long been out of print. The present print-on-demand volume reprints the book in the 1993 version published by Gregg Revivals, which made significant alterations to the 1967 original. These included a new introduction reviewing recent work, and, in particular, 33 pages of detailed annotations and corrections, which, taken together, justified its status as a second edition.
