Editor of The Economist from 1861 until his death, Walter Bagehot (1826-77) wrote across an array of subjects, from banking to literature. In this classic 1867 publication, he sought to describe the 'living reality' of how Britain was governed, making a notable distinction between 'dignified' and 'efficient' constitutional components.
