Klappentext
Following the Brexit vote, this book offers a timely historical assessment of the different ways that Britain s economic future has been imagined and how British ideas have influenced global debates about market relationships over the past two centuries. The 2016 EU referendum hinged to a substantial degree on how competing visions of the UK should engage with foreign markets, which in turn were shaped by competing understandings of Britain s economic past.The book considers the following inter-related questions:
- What roles does economic imagination play in shaping people s behaviour and how far can insights from behavioural economics be applied to historical issues of market selection?
- How useful is the concept of the official mind for explaining the development of market relationships?
- What has been the relationship between expanding communications and the development of markets?
- How and why have certain regions or groupings (e. g. the Commonwealth) been unimagined - losing their status as promising markets for the future?
