Anyone who writes on British economic policy in the twentieth-century will need to consult this impressive volume. A major institution now has the study its importance warrants. Given the huge influence of the British Treasury, this authoritative study will be an essential reference tool not only for those examining the more recondite areas of the government's financial business but for those concerned with the broad context of British domestic and overseas policy formulation., 'Too often historians regard the two world wars as starting or finishingpoints.
