Britain and the Sterling Area Summary

Britain and the Sterling Area: From Devaluation to Convertibility in the 1950s by Catherine Schenk

To complement current work on the British domestic economy in the post-war period it is necessary to examine external economic policy. Whilst considerable work has been done on Britain's relations with Europe and with America, the complexities of the sterling area have remained obscure. This volume makes a significant contribution to unravelling the strands of British external economic policy in the post-war period.

Britain and the Sterling Area Reviews

`Provides a refreshing, lucid analysis which will undoubtedly stimulate further comment.'
