Politics

In his 1910 bestseller, The Great Illusion, the journalist Norman Angell aimed to demonstrate that, so interwoven were the globalised industrial economies sustained by British world hegemony, war would be economic madness, and so unthinkable. The coming years did not bear out his thesis: international politics had a logic of its own, in which the material concerns of economists and capitalists alike proved subordinate. The first great period of globalisation came to a juddering halt in the trenches, and with it Britain’s hegemonic status as the arbiter and protector of international free trade.
