Britain
Britain appears in historical and contemporary discussions as a decentralised state, a major economic partner, and a potential military-financial target. Adam Tooze described unresolved British decentralisation and Manchester’s rise as an alternative power base to London 2. He also argued that Britain became Argentina’s dominant economic partner after independence through its global economic power and railway promotion, while noting a dependency critique of that relationship 3. Alasdair Macleod argued that a Russian gold standard could severely damage Britain’s, France’s and Germany’s ability to wage war 4.

The stories
- ○ a voice, on the left
- ◌ a voice raising half of these
- ● a subject, on the right, under its story
- ⌒ a line is a voice raising a subject — thicker, more items; colour is the story
The stories this entity travels in: on the right, each story with the subjects seen alongside it; on the left, the voices that raised them, and a line for every subject a voice raised, bundled by story. Tap a voice to light everything it raises, a subject for who raised it, a story for its own lines. The crumb goes back.
