"The American Invasion" (1901) By Sir Christopher Furness An unabridged audiobook production of the short book written by shipping tycoon Sir Christopher Furness. This book captures the anxiety of early 20th-century Britain as it faced the rising economic power of the United States. Furness provides a firsthand account of the American industrial giant's rapid expansion, technological innovations, and the looming threat it posed to British industries. With insights drawn from his personal experiences and speeches, Furness explores America's industrial advantages, such as abundant natural resources, large-scale infrastructure projects, and a culture of innovation, while also reflecting on how Britain could maintain its global leadership. Forward by me, Justin Fortier. Links to come.
