This is the first full-length history of the Scottish cotton
industry, from its beginnings in the late eighteenth century to its
premature decline in the years leading up to the First World War.
The book examines the industry chronologically and through themes
such as precursors, technology, capital and employers, markets,
labour and work, placed within their broader economic and scoial
contexts. Its account of the cotton industry is set within
important historiographical debates such as
proto-industrialisation, the speed of industrial change, the
diffusion of technology, the labour process, paternalism, workplace
control, entrepreneurship and theories of industrial decline.
Cotton was Scotland's premier industry during the Industrial
Revolution and this book will be wlecomed by specialists, students
and interested readers alike. -- .
