520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. This powerful interpretation of English history provides a completely new framework for understanding how Britain emerged in the eighteenth century as a major international power. [The author's] analysis makes clear that the drastic increase in Britain's military involvement (and success) in Europe and the expansion of her commercial and imperial interests would not have happened without a concurrent radical increase in taxation, along with a surge in deficit financing and the growth of a substantial public administration. Warfare and taxes reshaped the English economy, and at the heart of these dramatic changes lay an issue that is still very much with us today: the tension between a nation's aspirations to be a major power and fear of the domestic consequences of such an ambition - namely, the loss of liberty. [He] poses another question of great importance ... how did a small island, of no great population, and which had, for the most part, played an insignificant role in seventeenth-century Europe, transform itself, in the space of sixty years, into a great naval power with an immense empire?
