Description
This new edition of The Age of Manufactures provides an exciting alternative overview of the eighteenth-century British economy.
Recent macro-economic history has discounted many of the achievements of the Industrial Revolution.
Maxine Berg argues that at the heart of the Industrial Revolution, we find many new consumer industries employing a women's workforce, and bringing with them a rich diversity of technological and organizational change.
Four new chapters explore recent perspectives on: * The Industrial Revolution * Eighteenth century industries * Machines and manual labour * The rise of the factory system Statistical summaries, and a thorough revision of the whole text have refreshed and enhanced this well-established and important contribution to British ecomonic history.
