Synopsis
A Marxist appraisal which confronts questions of class, nationality, and state power in Britain. The book attempts to determine whether capitalist relations in Scotland were basically alien, imposed from the outside, submerging previous national traditions, or were internal and national and, if so, to establish the part capitalism played in Scotland's integration into the British Sate.
