Focusing on international trade in the 1873-1914 period, this book analyzes the facts behind the myth that Britain's economic decline began long before World War I. It examines Britain's performance in comparison with that of its major rivals in the areas where they came into competition with each other. The evidence that emerges does not support a conclusion that sees Britain in continuous retreat from markets and sectors worldwide.

D.C.M. Platt is also the editor of "Argentina, Australia and Canada: Studies in Comparative Development, 1870-1965", "The Political Economy of Argentina, 1880-1946" (both with Guido di Tella) and "Social Welfare, 1850-1950", and author of "Mickey Mouse Numbers in World History: The Short View" and "Britain's Investment Overseas on the Eve of the First World War".
