Opis

Norwegian Catch-Up looks at the early Norwegian economic trajectory in light of its external commitments and opportunities. Detailing Norway's economic performance relative to other countries at a time characterized by globalization, it also provides a historical reflection on the liberal antecedent of modern social democracy.

Recenzje

'Moses' captivating and original study of early Norwegian economic and political development in the context of late 19th century globalization comes as a breath of fresh air. In the tradition of past classics from the likes of Eric Hobsbawm and AJP Taylor, Moses magnificently displays the depth and range of a learned scholar in a style that both students and academics will find to be illuminating.' Professor Michael E. Alvarez, University of Bergen, Norway
