A Short History of Brexit: From Brentry to Backstop Audiobook (Free)

Presented by Penguin.

After all of the debates, manoeuvrings, recriminations and exaltations, Brexit is upon us. But, as Kevin O’Rourke writes, Brexit did not emerge out of nowhere: it’s the culmination of occasions that have been under method for decades and have traditional roots stretching back well beyond that. Brexit has a history.

O’Rourke, one of the leading economic historians of his generation, explains not only how British behaviour to Europe have got advanced, but also how the EU’s history about A Short History of Brexit: From Brentry to Backstop clarifies why it operates since it does today – and exactly how that background has shaped the ways in which it has taken care of immediately Brexit. Why will be the economics, the politics and the history so tightly woven collectively? Crucially, he also points out why the issue of the Irish boundary isn’t just one of customs and trade, but also for the EU goes to the center of what it really is about. The way in which United kingdom, Irish and Western histories continue to interact with one another will shape the future of Brexit – and of the continent. Quiet and lucid, A Short History of Brexit goes up above the most common fray of conversations to provide fresh new perspectives and understanding of probably the most momentous political and economic change in Britain and the EU for decades.
