The History of the Worlds Economy. IV. From expansion to recession
Valerio Castronovo (a cura di)
The fourth in a six-volume series which charts the development of the economy from ancient times to the present day. Concentrating on the period between 1850 and the early part of the 20th century, the essays in this volume look at the profound changes within every sector of society (in particular industry and agriculture) and how these changes affected the way people lived, class structure and international relations.
