The Twentieth Century 1-2. [antikvár]

THE FONTANA ECONOMIC HISTORY OF EUROPE General Editor: Carlo M. Cipolla There is at present no satisfactory economic history of Europe - covering Europe both as a whole and with particular relarion to the individual countries - that is both concise enough for convenient use and yet full enough to include the results ot individual and detailed scholarship. This series is designed to fill that gap. Unlike most current works in this field the Fontana Economic History oj Europe does not end at the outbreak of the First World War. More than haJí a century has elapsed since 1914, a half-century that has transformed the economic backeround of Europe. In recognition of this the present work has set its terminál date at 1970. The source material available for Europe in the last half-century is immensely grea.ter than that for the whole world from the remotest orierms of economic life. The scale ot these concludmg volumes retlects this fact. \
