How does Ferguson view the British Empire?

  • Critically

  • Neutrally

  • Positively

  • Negatively

Answer

Positively, Ferguson views British imperialism—alongside American involvement in World War II and the Green Revolution—as one of the main factors responsible for the Great Enrichment. British expansionism, he argues, was driven by economic incentives and led to technological advances and the spread of free markets, ultimately benefiting both Britain and its colonies.
