About the book

Niall Ferguson's Empire examines the history and global impact of the British Empire. The book explores trade, migration, warfare, finance, government and cultural influence across territories controlled or influenced by Britain. Ferguson argues that the empire played a major role in spreading institutions such as global commerce and parliamentary government, while also acknowledging coercion, exploitation and violence as central parts of imperial expansion.
