Summary

Emphasises the continuing vigour of British imperialism down to the era of decolonisation, and shows that, when the empire did fall apart, the forces of gentlemanly capitalism had not withered away but diverted into other channels.

British Imperialism-Crisis and Deconstruction 1914-1990 Summary

British Imperialism-Crisis and Deconstruction 1914-1990 by P.J. Cain

Establishes the concept of 'gentlemanely capitalism' and examines the growth of empire and many of its controversial episodes, including the partition of Africa, and concludes - against conventional wisdom - that Britain was still a dynamic imperial power on the eve of World War I.
