Forging Nations: Currency, Power, and Nationality in Britain and Ireland since 1603

Forging Nations considers the relationships between money, power, and nationality in England, Scotland, and Ireland from the Union of the Crowns in 1603 to the present day. Blaazer examines how struggles over monetary power have continued to shape arguments and attitudes in recent debates over the Euro, Scottish independence, and 'austerity'.
