      title = {The rise and fall of Britain's North American empire : the  political economy of colonial America /},
      abstract = {This book explores the economic factors that led to  Britain forfeiting its North American colonies. Placing  discussions within both a historical and political context,  the development of the colonial economy is examined in  relation to both slavery and the industrial revolution. In  turn, changes to British tax policy post-1760 and the  increased burden placed on American taxpayers are detailed,  alongside the resentment and resistance to them. These  factors, as well as nonimportation agreements and boycotts,  are highlighted as the major motivations for the American  Revolution. This book aims to provide an accessible  foundation to the economic and political issues central to  Britains colonial activities in North America. It will be  relevant to students and researchers interested in the  political economy and economic history.
