"Cain and Hopkins' British Imperialismreinvigorated the debate about the 'Expansion of England' over twenty years ago, and today its argument is as ambitious, intriguing, and provocative as ever. A triumph of scholarly synthesis that spans centuries and continents, it remains one of the truly indispensable texts for understanding the origins of empire." Allan Allport, Syracuse University, USA "British Imperialismstill stands as expansive imperial history at its best: simultaneously methodical yet bold, detailed yet clear, its main arguments sparkle with a subversive revisionism that makes it fully deserving of its continuing position as essential reading on Britain's global relationships in the modern age." Christopher Prior, University of Southampton, UK "The work of Cain and Hopkins is essential for understanding the scope and strength of the British Empire. While no one frame of analysis is sufficient to encompass the full complexity of the British Empire, finance capital was critical to its influence, expansion, and power relative to other contemporary states and empires. No work explains the scope of British financial power or its role in determining global relationships in the modern period better than British Imperialism." Charles Upchurch, Florida State University, USA Praise for previous editions: "A magisterial account of 300 years of British history, properly putting the empire right at the centre." Will Hutton, The Guardian "A stunning mixture of narrative, analysis and brillian historiographical deconstruction." Denis MacShane, New Statesman "As erudite as it is stimulating."

Synopsis
A milestone in the understanding of British history and imperialism, this ground-breaking book radically reinterprets the course of modern economic development and the causes of overseas expansion during the past three centuries. Employing their concept of 'gentlemanly capitalism', the authors draw imperial and domestic British history together to show how the shape of the nation and its economy depended on international and imperial ties, and how these ties were undone to produce the post colonial world of today. Containing a new Foreword and Afterword and updated to include new directions in the field, as well now coming up to the present day financial crisis, this third edition of British Imperialism is the perfect read for all students of Imperial and global history., A milestone in the understanding of British history and imperialism, this ground-breaking book radically reinterprets the course of modern economic development and the causes of overseas expansion during the past three centuries. Employing their concept of 'gentlemanly capitalism', the authors draw imperial and domestic British history together to show how the shape of the nation and its economy depended on international and imperial ties, and how these ties were undone to produce the post-colonial world of today. Containing a significantly expanded and updated Foreword and Afterword, this third edition assesses the development of the debate since the book's original publication, discusses the imperial era in the context of the controversy over globalization, and shows how the study of the age of empires remains relevant to understanding the post-colonial world. Covering the full extent of the British empire from China to South America and taking a broad chronological view from the seventeenth century to post-imperial Britain today, British Imperialism: 1688-2015 is the perfect read for all students of imperial and global history.
