The Wealth of England from 1496 to 1760 Book

This book reviews English economic history from the eve of the discovery of America through the time when the Industrial Revolution was well underway. It emphasizes the connection of the wealth of England with developments in Europe and in the other continents generally, but it does not wrap the facts in theoretical concepts which often make economic history obscure and difficult. It gives a clear account of the agriculture, trade, industry, and social structure of England, showing how they all changed continuously and how each influenced the other.
