This 2004 book explores the question of British exceptionalism in the period from the Glorious Revolution to the Congress of Vienna. Leading historians examine why Great Britain emerged from years of sustained competition with its European rivals in a discernible position of hegemony in the domains of naval power, empire, global commerce, agricultural efficiency, industrial production, fiscal capacity and advanced technology. They deal with Britain's unique path to industrial revolution and distinguish four themes on the interactions between its emergence as a great power and as the first industrial nation. First, they highlight growth and industrial change, the interconnections between agriculture, foreign trade and industrialisation. Second, they examine technological change and, especially, Britain's unusual inventiveness. Third, they study her institutions and their role in facilitating economic growth. Fourth and finally, they explore British military and naval supremacy, showing how this was achieved and how it contributed to Britain's economic supremacy.

Britain’s economic ascendancy in a European context作者的观点: 1. 工业革命前英国的经济地位不是通过圈地运动实现的,与“资本主义”农业或“封建”农业没有关联 2. 城市经济的发展推动了农村经济的发展,反之不成立 3. 17世纪的农村经济不存在“现代化”动机, 农产品价格的膨胀是生产力上升的决定性因素
