Reviewer comment
This was a period during which the original 'classical' liberals in the Liberal
Party in England and with influence on the continent lost power to
Conservatives on the right and Socialists on the left. During this time the
original bourgeois ideals were falling in favor - what Dr. McCloskey (bourgeois) called 'the treason' of the
intellectuals. Chapter 6 describes this in detail. It was a period in which
England retained its huge economic lead with output in textiles, coal, iron,
machinery and all far greater than any other power. But it also saw the Victory
of Prussia over France and growing intellectual influence of German science and
social science in academic circles. And very important, it was then that
Bismark created the first 'welfare state' - "nation state' the organizaton
and ideological legitimization of which was soon copied by England and then
other countries.
