Episode description
This weekend marks 100 years since the end of World War 1. But is the history of the war that we learn at school the whole story? The 20 essays in a new VoxEU ebook on the economic history of the war challenge the conventional wisdom about how the war started, why it was won and lost, and its consequences.
Tim Phillips talks to Mark Harrison of the University of Warwick, one of the book’s editors.
