Recenzii
Trentmann has produced a valuable guide to free trade.
Here we have 'a human history of Free Trade' that is at once a delight to read and a cause of profound intellectual stimulation. It graphically brings alive - with splendid colour reproductions of propaganda posters too - the popular passions and prejudices of a world that suddenly ended during the First World War...This is a book imbued with fine scholarship, but one that deserves a wide readership
brilliant
This is terrific history that will inspire economists to remember their subject really can arouse passion.
...an inspired history...Trentmann's book unfolds a dramatic story...gripping
Thoughtful and well-researched.
[A] lucid history of free trade in Britain
a landmark in economic history and the history of ideas
fascinating
...paints a vivid picture of the ideological controversy over Free Trade that remains relevant to this day.
offers a fresh look at a chapter in British and world history, while at the same time providing a historical perspective on today's debate about globalisation, challenging the ways we have come to think about trade, justice and democracy.
Frank Trentmann...has not only added a great deal to our knowledge through painstaking research but has written about it with verve and energy and produced a most readable volume.
Free Trade Nation is history at its best: far-reaching and authoritative, its story of the rise and fall of free trade as a widely-held belief marked by justice, fairness, and peace provocatively refashions the history of early-twentieth-century Britain, reminds us of an age when popular politics exerted real power, and forces us to rethink our contemporary views of consumers, markets and morality.
Absorbing
a fascinating book, wide ranging, detailed, well organized, and written in an engaging style
Frank Trentmann's book will be the point of departure for any future scholarship on free trade... It is a ground-breaking study
...original and thought provoking...Trentmann's reconstruction of consumer politics is both persuasive and authoritative
...this impressive study...shows how liberalism turned into social democracy and how the arguments for and against Free Trade both shaped national life and embodied current views regarding man, government and society. After this book, no study of Victorian liberalism can be conducted in quite the same way.
In writing Free Trade Nation, Trentmann set out to tell the personal histories of free trade and also to write a new political history. He succeeds admirably on both accounts...Free Trade Nation should be read by anyone interested in the history of modern Britain.
...a major scholarly work [that] forces the reader to grapple with basic questions relating economics to politics, consumption to democracy, and offers the tools for doing so in a comparative, global frame...deserves to be read as much by citizens...as by scholars... Trentmann offers an important contribution, both to the history of Great Britain and to political history more generally.
immensely ambitious...an important and exciting book, whose arguments will need to be seriously addressed and assessed by students of both economic and political history.
a brilliant book...rich and multi-faceted...full of unexpected insights...Not only a product of wonderful scholarship but also great fun... It is essential reading for anyone interested in the development of modern Britain.
[a] brilliant achievement
an important contribution to the cultural and social history of economic controversies.
Trentmann has written an excellent book, extensively and meticulously researched, thoughtful, nuanced, and eloquent...a book of enduring importance
the novelty of this account lies in its pioneering attempt to turn the attention of political historians away from elections and parties towards an understanding of consumption and citizenship as central to the nature of political culture ...carefully constructed, engagingly written, finely illustrated, and suitably well-marketed.
Extremely timely
