“ #Economics thus became the only #socialscience in our period (1875 to 1914) undisturbed by the problem of #non-rational #behaviour, since it was so defined as to exclude all transactions which could not be described as being in some sense #rational.” - #EricHobsbawm, The Age of Empire (1875-1914)

“It is difficult for anyone born after 1914 to imagine how deeply the belief that a #worldwar could not ‘really’ come was engrained in the fabric of life before the deluge.” - #EricHobsbawm, The Age of Empire: 1875-1914

“ #Economic #development is not a sort of ventriloquist with the rest of #history as its dummy.” - #EricHobsbawm, The Age of Empire, 1875-1914
