A clear, timely look at how Britain’s economy is changing in a world of new rivals and global trade.

It explains what this means for policy, work, and daily life.

Progress and the Fiscal Problem examines how the old free-trade setup fits a world where Germany and America compete in our markets and colonies grow in importance. It also ties economic questions to wider questions of national strength, governance, and imperial unity. The book frames these issues as part of a larger story about progress, not a narrow technical debate.

Written in a steady, accessible voice, it compares Britain with its key rivals and explores the implications for tariffs, industry, and the future of the English-speaking world. It blends history, economics, and political strategy to show why policy choices matter for everyone who earns a living, supports a family, or worries about the country's direction.

See how global competition reshapes Britain’s industries and colonies
Understand why tariff questions are framed as national and imperial challenges
Compare Britain's position with Germany and the United States
Learn how policy can balance economic strength with political and moral goals

Ideal for readers of economic history and policy debates, this edition speaks to anyone interested in how progress, trade, and national life intersect.
