More about the book
The book presents an analytical history of Britannia, tracing its transformation from a feudal autocracy to a constitutional monarchy amidst political turmoil and economic stagnation, culminating in the industrial revolution. It critiques the notion of linear progress toward freedom, employing insights from economics, political science, and philosophy. The narrative highlights the philosophical tensions between order and liberty, drawing on influential thinkers of the Scottish Enlightenment and classical liberalism to illustrate Britannia's evolution into a prosperous nation by 1884.
