本书剖析了19世纪下半叶利物浦作为欧洲首要远洋港口的中介与服务部门,揭示其如何支撑英国早期工业优势转化为世界贸易领导地位。
In the third quarter of the nineteenth century, Liverpool was Europe's foremost seaport for long-distance commerce, and a principal conduit by which Britain's early industrial strength was parlayed into leadership of world trade. Graeme Milne's new book dissects the intermediary and service sector that underpinned Liverpool's prominence during this crucial period of technologically based globalization.
