This book provides a fresh assessment of the impact of the First World War on the international economy. Leading academics offer new perspectives on the effects of the War on the long-term growth rates of the belligerent countries and examine its impact on individual sectors within these economies.

Kees Biekart and Alan Fowler describe what happens in the development of society as a political project. They present their Civic Driven Change: a framework for socio-political analysis and action, which has been refined and elaborated in earlier studies.
