I found it surprisingly difficult to think of a recent economic history paper to pair with Daunton’s The Economic Government of the World, especially with the first half which I discussed in this review. Daunton’s focus is at the same time both too broad in scope and too institutional, too finely-grained, to fit the mould of most modern economic history papers.
