{"product_id":"9781462835775","title":"British Foreign Policy since 1870","description":"This book survey Britain´s foreign policy since 1870. Conventional accounts stress the rulers´ benevolent rhetoric: I present the evidence that refutes this superficial, liberal view. Britain´s economy is the key to understanding its foreign policy: capitalism causes a conflict-ridden foreign policy. The rulers´ focus has been on seizing profits from abroad, for which they have sacrificed the welfare of the British people.  British governments - Conservative, Liberal and Labour alike - have represented the tiny minority who own the means of production, and have opposed the great majority who have to work for a living. The ruling class´s external focus has also damaged relations with other countries and helped to produce the two recurring types of war - wars between rival empires and wars against national liberation.","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47129503072496,"sku":"9781462835775","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781462835775_p0.jpg?v=1763678945","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781462835775","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
