Overview

History, economics and politics has never been so entertaining. Here in over 150 cartoons, a simple chronology and incisive commentary is the history of the events that have transformed the whole world. Globalisation and the economic changes have remade the world so fast it is hard to get a grip. But in this book they are described and made entertaining in the work of the finest cartoonists from both sides of the Atlantic. From the end of the British empire to the rise of the American one, from the Korean war to Suez, to Vietnam to the Gulf Wars; from oil crisis to growing environmentalism it is all here. This is the easiest, sanest, and most amusing introduction to economic history in the world. It not only makes a sometimes dry subject painless, it makes it positively enjoyable.
